The Home Depot, Nextel Purchase Seahawks Tickets to Benefit Northwest Charities
9/19/2003

Kirkland, Wa. - The Seattle Seahawks have announced that corporate partners The Home Depot and Nextel have purchased a large block of tickets that will benefit over 30 charities throughout the Northwest. The purchased tickets have been distributed by the Seahawks and the Seahawks Foundation to special non-profit community partners and will allow thousands of individuals to attend Sunday's showdown vs. the St. Louis Rams, starting at 1:05 p.m.
With the recent tickets purchased by The Home Depot and Nextel, Seahawks fans not able to attend Sunday's game will now be able to view the game on television as the local television blackout has been lifted.
"It is our pleasure to help bring the excitement of Seahawks football to the Puget
Sound community," offers Joel Pollock, district manager, The Home Depot. "Giving back to the communities we serve is a core value of The Home Depot. We are proud to support these great organizations and the Seahawks."
Founded in 1978, The Home Depot is the world's largest home improvement specialty retailer and the second largest retailer in the United States, employing 315,000 associates in 1,618 stores around the globe.
"We at Nextel are extremely honored and thrilled to be able to support so many local charities while at the same time ensuring that fans will be able to watch the Seahawks game on TV," said Jeff Brennan, Nextel's area vice president for the Pacific Northwest. "This is the second year that Nextel has been the official wireless provider of the Seahawks and we are pleased that we can work with them to incorporate contributions to the non-profit community through this partnership."
