In honor of Veterans Day, MX Sports Pro Racing and the ATV
Promoter's Group (ATVPG) introduced an initiative with the Veteran
Tickets Foundation to recognize the sacrifices made by our service
men and women by offering free admission to any round of the 2015
Mtn. Dew ATV Motocross National Championship, sanctioned by AMA
(ATVMX). For the first time ever, active and retired military
veterans can watch the on-track excitement of the world's premier
ATV motocross series at no cost.
In celebration of its 30th anniversary season and in the spirit of
Veterans Day, ATVMX has donated 50 General Admission tickets to the
Vet Tix foundation for each of the 10 rounds of the championship.
Tickets will be available to all military veterans two weeks prior
to each event through VetTix.org.
"The donation of free tickets has dramatically widened the range of
ways that veterans can relax, enjoy themselves, share smiles with
their families and loved ones, and for some, be re-integrated into
civilian life," said CEO and Founder of Vet Tix, Michael
Focareto.
Major sports franchises from Major League Baseball, the National
Basketball Association, National Football League, and National
Hockey League have also partnered with Vet Tix, as have touring
organizations like World Wrestling Entertainment and Professional
Bull Riders.
For the first time ever veterans can receive free admission to each round of the 2015 Mtn. Dew ATV Motocross National Championship. Tickets available through nonprofit organization VetTix.org
Vet Tix, based in Phoenix, is a national nonprofit organization
that provides free tickets to veterans and active-duty members of
the military and their families. Focareto, a U.S. Navy veteran,
developed the concept of Vet Tix in 2008 and since then the
organization has given away more almost 1.2 million tickets to
veterans nationwide.
All active and retired military veterans can create an account on
VetTix.org to receive emails and reminders about when ATVMX tickets
become available. More information about Vet Tix can be found at
VetTix.org.
The 2015 Mtn. Dew ATV Motocross National Championship kicks off
Saturday, March 21, with the inaugural visit to Echeconnee MX Park
in Lizella, Georgia. The world's best four-wheel riders will
compete over the course of 10 rounds of action on many of the most
renowned motocross tracks in the
country.
