UBC Hoops Gives Assist to Gospel Mission (blatant plug)

UBC's men's and women's basketball teams will be giving a needed boost to Gospel Mission this Saturday, February 6th, with a "fun-raising" event for the Mission.

The Mission is selling tickets to the games against the University of Victoria, and half of the proceeds from those sales will go to the Mission. More importantly, the evening will help raise awareness of the Downtown East Side and encourage students to consider ways that they can make a difference in that troubled part of town. The women's game is at 6pm; the #1-ranked men tip off at 8. The games are entertaining and great family fun.

Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for seniors and students from age 7 to the end of high school. To purchase tickets, please contact Ass't Pastor Drew Snider by email: drewsnider@gospelmission.net.
