Tri-Valley to hold Big 12 ticket drawing

Two lucky sports fans will have the time of their life at the Big 12 Tournament this year at the Ford Center in Oklahoma City. Tri-Valley Developmental Services is holding a drawing for two courtside seats to all four days of action during the men's tournament March 11-14.

"This is a great opportunity to enjoy the Big 12 Tournament in a manner that is unattainable to most of us," said Tim Cunningham, Tri-Valley executive director, said. "These are amazing seats."

The two courtside tickets were provided by the Big 12 Conference to Tri-Valley for a charitable fundraiser to benefit the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program. The winner will also be invited to several parties given by corporate sponsors of the tournament, and also will have free parking at all games.

Tri-Valley is asking for $50.00 donations to enter the drawing that includes the two tickets and all other amenities. The entire package is valued at $1000.00.

The drawing will be held February 19 at noon in the TVDS administrative office. Entrants will not need to be present to win. To enter by phone call at (620) 431-7401, ext. 2. All major credit cards are accepted. To enter by mail send your entry to Big Twelve Drawing, Tri-Valley Developmental Services, PO Box 518, Chanute, KS 66720.
