Each year this life-changing event helps teachers, students, principals, coaches, and counselors provide an amazing experience for people who otherwise couldn\u2019t ever see a game in real life. Stories are legion about the smiles, laughs, cheers, and sometimes tears as our young participants get to experience something they\u2019d only dreamed of\u2026for the majority, their very first Blazers game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">I just got the update from the Blazers on this year\u2019s event, and even though donations have been strong, we\u2019re bumping up against a couple of realities:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Long story short, we have that long to make up the gap.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">I don\u2019t believe any one person in our reach is going to buy all 1,000 tickets. What it takes is a bunch of people willing to buy one ticket, or two. They start at $13 and run up to $24, which isn\u2019t that expensive when you consider you\u2019re making someone\u2019s year! Please, can you help?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Donating is really easy! The Blazers themselves have set up a site. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blazersedge.com\/trail-blazers-news\/108613\/portland-trail-blazers-charity-event-donations-tickets-kids-2026\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Click through this link to get there.<\/a> You purchase tickets from the Blazers directly there, except instead of going into your personal account they go into the pool of tickets for the charity event.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Please. It\u2019s now or never. We want to be able to say yes to all of the people who want to go (and there are a lot). Can you help with a ticket or two today, or more if you\u2019re able?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Thanks from the bottom of our hearts. We love being a part of the Blazer\u2019s Edge community. Let\u2019s get this done for the people who are waiting to hear that they can go on March 10th!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Portland Trail Blazers fans and Blazer\u2019s Edge Readers will be familiar with Blazer\u2019s Edge Night, the annual charity&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":597323,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3784],"tags":[7,601,37660,6,687,471,3967,1617],"class_list":{"0":"post-597322","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-portland-trail-blazers","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-blazers","10":"tag-blazers-news","11":"tag-nba","12":"tag-portland","13":"tag-portland-trail-blazers","14":"tag-portlandtrailblazers","15":"tag-trail-blazers"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/597322","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=597322"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/597322\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/597323"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=597322"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=597322"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=597322"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
