OT - Wizards are helping their community. Perhaps Mason could do something too.

Perhaps, impacted folks could pick up a free grocery store gift card and a free bb ticket at the field house. There’s probably a size-able percentage of our fan base that are government workers and it would generate us some good will in the community/maybe even some new fans. If it’s good enough for the Wizards? It should be good enough for us.

Mason Athletics was doing free tickets for soccer, although I can't find the link anymore (soccer season is basically over anyway)

The Center for the Arts is in as well - https://cfa.gmu.edu/news/2025-10/fr...nces-individuals-impacted-government-shutdown

Canned food drive--bring 2 cans of food and get a free GA ticket to the game. Then give the canned food to (or winter clothing if you want to do a winter clothing drive) to those in the community who need it.
