HARTFORD ATHLETIC ANNOUNCES COMMUNITY TICKET PROGRAM DONATING MORE THAN 2,000 TICKETS; 
NAMES BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS OF HARTFORD COMMUNITY PARTNER

Over the course of Hartford Athletic’s inaugural season more than 2,000 tickets will be donated through the generosity of the Gitlin Family

Hartford Athletic unveiled the Hartford Athletic Community Ticket Program on Monday. The program will provide 2,000 tickets over the course of the Club’s Inaugural 2019 Season to those that may not otherwise have the opportunity to attend a match. Hartford Athletic also named the Boys and Girls Clubs of Hartford as the first partner and recipient of the program.

"Initiatives like the Hartford Athletic Community Ticket Program underpin the central mission of our club to bring our community together through the world’s game and use soccer as a platform for good," said Bruce Mandell, Chairman & CEO of Hartford Athletic. “This program furthers our commitment to this mission by making sure everyone has an opportunity to enjoy the fun and excitement of a Hartford Athletic match."

Mandell went on to say, “We are so appreciative of the Gitlin Family for this generous contribution and the impact that it will make. Our fans are at the heart of everything we do, and this is yet another example of the driving force our fans continue to be as we keep building together.”

“Hartford Athletic continues to step up and deliver on its commitment to the community, and we are excited to participate in the Hartford Athletic Community Ticket Program,” said Sam Gray, President & CEO of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Hartford. “Following the Club’s expansion announcement at our Asylum Hill Club last July and the return of the Hartford Athletic futsal program at our clubs this February, we are excited to see our relationship continue to grow as we work together to support the many kids who walk through the doors of a Boys and Girls Club each and every day.”
