UCLA Athletics Launches Maui Relief Efforts
August 24, 2023 | Football
LOS ANGELES – UCLA Athletics and the UCLA football team announced today a fundraising initiative for the Maui community following devastating wildfires on the Hawaiian island. The campaign continues through the Bruins' Sept. 2 season opener at Rose Bowl Stadium, though support is encouraged beyond the game.
Two complimentary tickets will be provided for the UCLA football contest against Coastal Carolina, as well as UCLA's Sept. 16 home matchup with North Carolina Central, to fans who donate at least $10 toward the efforts of at least one of the following charitable organizations: The Salvation Army Hawaiian and Pacific Islands Division, American Red Cross in support of Hawaii wildfires relief, Hawaii Community Foundation's Maui Strong Fund, Maui Food Bank or Chef Hui.
In order to receive tickets for the opener, fans must display a receipt showing a donation of at least $10 at the Today's Sales or Customer Service booth between Gates A and B outside the Rose Bowl, prior to the end of the game's third quarter.
Tickets for the Bruins' home meeting with NC Central can be picked up inside the stadium, from the Tunnel 28 Customer Service location, before the end of halftime at the season opener with proof of a $10-or-more donation. QR codes directing fans to the four charities will be displayed on the Rose Bowl Stadium videoboard before and during the game.
UCLA football coaches and staff members will wear UCLA "Maui Strong" t-shirts to recognize the resilience and unity of the island's people. The shirts feature the Hawaiian phrase "malama kekahi i kekahi," which translates to "to take care of one another."
