Military night out

The Storm and the Special Operations Warriors Foundation are teaming up to host Military Night Out when Tampa Bay faces Orlando on June 7 at the St. Pete Times Forum in “The War on I-4.” “The armed forces do a heck of a job of keeping us safe,” Storm coach Tim Marcum said in a release. “They put their lives on the line day in and day out. I think it is great that we can partner up with Special Operations Warrior Foundation to help give back to those who gave of themselves to keep us safe.”

Military Night Out is an opportunity for local businesses to sponsor military personnel to attend the game. There are five sponsorship levels one can participate in, ranging from $150 to $2,000. At each level, a minimum of 25 percent of the sponsorship will be donated to the Special Operations Warriors Foundation.

“The Special Operations Warrior Foundation is proud to team up with The Tampa Bay Storm,” John T. Carney, Jr., SOWF President said in a release. “Not only is Military Night Out a wonderful way to show our men and women serving in the military that the Tampa Bay community supports them and their families, but it also raises funds that will provide a college education for some very deserving children.”
