We have committed to sending 190 kids from San Diego Youth Services to the game tonight. The kids are getting a ticket to the game, a purple Poinsettia Bowl shirt, and a voucher for a hot dog & coke. Additionally, 6 tickets were sent to the San Diego Fire Department.
Unfortunately, because of the relative lack of time before the game I've been scrambling to coordinate between all interested parties and haven't had time to update others on the progress, but everything is set up to go. A majority of the kids will be sitting behind the TCU band in the plaza section, so if you're watching on TV or at the game and near the band be on the lookout for the kids.
The approximate cost for ticket, shirt, hot dog & coke for each kid $45. If you would like to contribute toward this effort, you can visit the PPS website (www.purplepeopleseaters.org) and click on the 'Donate' button. Contributions of any amount are welcome.
I'm not sure if TCU wants me to disclose the Project Purple numbers, but I know between PPS and Project Purple a lot of kids are going to the game tonight. Thanks to everyone for the support and contributions.
