This year, Amor (facilitates TJ house building trips) and the Padres are teaming up for a fun Amor Ministries’ 30th Anniversary Celebration Event at Petco Park.  This Labor Day, September 6, 2010, the San Diego Padres will be hosting the Los Angeles Dodgers and Amor will be there.  Come out to the ballpark and celebrate with Amor.  Even if you don’t love baseball, come for the fun, friends, food, and the post-game fireworks.
The “Catch”:  Our goal is to sell 1,000 tickets.  If 1,000 people buy tickets using the Amor Promo Code (details below), Amor will receive a public address announcement on the big screen during the game.
Tickets are discounted at 20% off face value and Amor will receive $2 from every ticket sold under the Promo Code listed below.  You will need to buy your tickets online ahead of the game.  If you purchase tickets at the door, they will not count toward our 1,000 ticket goal.
Come out to the ballpark and celebrate the work that Amor has been able to accomplish, as well as, the work that is still yet to come.  It is Amor’s 30th Anniversary, come celebrate with us!

Tailgate Party:
Amor will be hosting a tailgate party at Petco Park before the game where you can enjoy free hot dogs.  Check www.amor.org/30years for current details on the Tailgate Party.
