The Duquesne University Department of Athletics invites all area children to attend their upcoming football game on Saturday, Nov. 19 against the Robert Morris. Children have the opportunity to experience a college football game as the Dukes host NCAA Football's sixteenth annual "Take A Kid to the Game" (TAKG) program presented by Coca-Cola and sponsored by another Corporate Champion AT&T. Kids, ages fourteen and younger, will receive a free ticket with the purchase of a full-priced adult ticket, to watch the Dukes at Rooney Field.
Duquesne is one of more than 200 schools across the nation that hosting a game in this campaign focused on allowing youth the opportunity to attend college football games. The Take A Kid to the Game program is entering into its sixteenth year in the promotion of collegiate athletics.
We encourage you to save the date. "Duquesne is excited about this event where kids from the community will have a chance to be a part of our game day experience and support NCAA Football's Take A Kid to the Game program," Greg Amodio, athletic director at Duquesne said. "This game day experience is an opportunity for children to spend quality time with a parent or role model and learn about sportsmanship that can be demonstrated on the playing field."
Tickets for this special game are available now and can be purchased at the Duquesne ticket office. For more information, contact Jared Kramer at 412-396-1971.
