The Cedar Rapids RoughRiders are teaming up with a host of local businesses for Score for the Community Night, an effort that will enable numerous community and non-profit groups to attend the RoughRiders’ October 27 game against the Lincoln Stars free of charge.

For Score for the Community Night participating RoughRiders corporate partners and other local businesses purchase blocks of tickets at a discounted rate that are then donated to a wide array of Cedar Rapids charitable organizations. Among the groups benefiting are Big Brothers Big Sisters of East Central Iowa, the ARC of East Central Iowa, the Boys & Girls Club of Cedar Rapids, Waypoint and many others. The Score for the Community Night campaign is already well underway but some partnership openings remain. Businesses interested in participating can contact the RoughRiders at (319) 247-0340.

The 2007-08 season will be the RoughRiders’ ninth in Cedar Rapids. Season tickets are currently available through the RoughRiders’ business office (247-0340). Fans who pay for season tickets in full before August 15 will receive a significant discount in addition to a host of other benefits available exclusively to season ticket holders.

Single game tickets will go on sale on a date to be determined in September.
