St. Vincent Seat Program Provides Purple Eagles Tickets To Nonprofits
For the 2015-2016 Niagara University athletics season, the seats were full and the Gallagher Center was loud in support of the Purple Eagles men’s basketball and hockey teams as they played at home against various opponents.
This season, there were special guests among the crowd thanks to the St. Vincent Seat Program offered through the Athletics Office and the Rev. Joseph L. Levesque, C.M. Institute for Civic Engagement.
The St. Vincent Seat Program is an effort to provide community members who may not normally be able to attend a sporting event the opportunity to see a men’s basketball or hockey game on Niagara University’s campus. This year, thanks to the generosity of Niagara University season ticket holders, 50 tickets to men’s home basketball games and 25 tickets to home hockey games were allotted for distribution to various community organizations.
