Mercury Madness week offers the chance for individuals or companies to donate money to purchase Phoenix Mercury tickets for underprivileged kids to attend their first Mercury game, and most likely their first professional basketball game.
For every $10 donated, one ticket will be purchased. Last year $210,000 was raised and this year’s goal is $225,000.
Donations for tickets can be submitted via form by contacting BMarsee@suns.com or by visiting this link and using promo code BMarsee.
The deadline for donations is Friday, July 29.
Here are the incentives offered to those who donate. Donations made as a company will be shared as a whole.
