In exchange for your generosity, any fan who brings a toy/book to a game will receive complimentary admission that day. Simply donate at the Athletic Ticket Box Office on game-day to claim your ticket.
Also, the first 150 Fordham students through the door will receive a special Tune Squad t-shirt jersey as part of Space Jam Night in the Rose Hill Gym.
