Steelers Ticket Fundraiser 2009

 

 

Here We Go Steelers, Here We Go!

 

Pittsburgh Steelers Fans!!  I'm sure you can still hear the crowds and your friends yelling this cheer on February 1st as the Steelers went on to win their record setting sixth Super bowl—what a great night we will always remember.

 

Well, you have the opportunity to possibly attend all of the home games for the 2009-2010 Steelers season while supporting the Trafford Junior Tamburitzans in our 4th annual Steelers season ticket fundraiser.

 

That's right—two seats located together in section 515 for two preseason games plus 8 regular season games.  In addition, the winning tickets include one free parking pass for each game.  And that's not all—the winner also receives $1,000 in cash!

 

Also, we lowered the ticket donation this year to only $10.00 so even more people can have the chance to win this great package. The PA Daily Lottery drawing on Tuesday, July 28 will determine the winning number. 

 

This is our biggest fundraiser of the year with all the proceeds used to defray the costs of our costumes, instructors, rehearsal hall and music.

 

There are several easy ways to make your ticket donation: contact any Trafford Junior family, e-mail us at traffordtammies@hotmail.com, go to our website www.freewebs.com/traffordtammies or simply call (724) 733-9528.

 

Thank you for your support!  Let's hope for a repeat performance in 2010—Here we go Steelers, Here we go!

Photo Album - International Village

Our Photo Album is updated with photos from our August 15, 2006 performance at International Village in Renzi Park McKeesport.  The performers did a great job presenting a variety of music and dance selections from Slovakia, Croatia, Poland and Serbia

For the past 22 years, the Trafford Juniors have prepared and served foods for the Slovak booth at International Village--a festival that draws thousands who enjoy the food, fireworks and entertainment for this annual three day event.  This is a major fundraiser for Trafford Juniors and the performers and parents all enjoy working together to raise money to defray costs for our costumes, rehearsal hall, instructors and music.
