Thanks to a donation of tickets from Verizon and the Philadelphia Eagles, Laurel House was able to provide a family with a night out at Lincoln Financial Field on November 8, where they had the opportunity to watch the Eagles take on the Cowboys.
Although their favorite team wasn't the victor, this family had a winning night, as the mom (Sarah) writes in this note to us.
I wanted to let you know what a wonderful time we had at the Eagles game on November 8. W. and R. were so excited to be going to the big game, Eagles vs. Cowboys. We got some Eagles gear, and made sure to take a blanket with us, and headed down early due to the SEPTA strike.
The kids and I had a friend who reserved us a parking spot in the closest lot, and when we went into the game, two kind strangers gave us complimentary passes to go down on to the field. It was very exciting to go in the stadium, under all of the bright lights and see our team come out onto the field. R. and W. ate chicken tenders, pizza, and had many hot chocolates. Despite the late night, and that the Eagles did not prevail, we had a great time. All of the people around us in our section got a kick out of our “die hard mini fans” in the making.
We will never forget the night at the Linc, under the big lights, cuddling together to cheer our team on. I had moments where I got nervous because of the high energy crowd, and crazy parking lot, but my kids just took it all in, and trusted that mommy knew what she was doing. I felt so proud of them.
Thank you so much for extending the tickets to my family. It was a gift we will remember forever.
With regards,
Sarah
