Commonwealth Legacy Foundation

Last week was a big one. The Commonwealth Legacy Foundation hosted its first major event as @UMassMBB welcomed Boston College to Springfield and came away with a WIN. We were proud to host 2,906 youth and families in the building, accounting for over 50 percent of the total attendance. Hear from some familiar faces in the crowd on what UMass means to them and why connecting young people with the athletic programs at the flagship state university of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts matters so much. Featuring UMass super fan and supporter @KenLynes, UMass Hall of Famer @Chaz3Williams, UMass grad and ESPN personality @mikecoreysports, UMass grad and media wizard @NathanPStrauss, UMass basketball legend @TerrellVinson, UMass super fan and Swiss army knife of all things UMass athletics @EliSlovin, and @UMassHoops_com founder Mike Fetterer. What a night. What a start. We are just getting going. More to come. #buildingthenextgenerationofumassfans

👀 We committed to 500 tickets back in September for the foundation. Eight days ago I called MassMutual saying I wasn’t sure we’d even hit 200 and honestly felt a little down. Then guys like Jose Delgado, Ken Lynes, Andy Rogers, Eli Slovin, Carlos Felix and countless others stepped up, connected us with the right groups and blew the lid off this thing with nearly 3,000 community tickets. 🫡 Huge thank you to everyone who helped, including Warren Hayden and Peter Colon in the ticket office. It really shows what a can do attitude and positivity in our lane as fans and supporters can do. Consider the mirror looked into 😉. Big game today. See you all there. Go UMass! #BuildingTheNextGenerationOfUMassFans

@MinutefanJSF @EliSlovin Close! 👀

@UMassLegacy I see @EliSlovin and maybe a Cutler or two?

Big day tomorrow #BuildingTheNextGenerationOfUMassFans 📈 👀 Recognize any of these younger folks? #GoUMass

@HuskyTicketProj Thank you for your help and guidance. Much appreciated 🫡

Awesome stuff from our friends up North.

Our second event is going to be a BIG one 🔥... 
🏀 Family and Community Night for @UMassMBB vs. @BCMBB is officially fully committed with nearly 👀 THREE THOUSAND tickets redeemed. We are thrilled with the response and cannot wait to host youth groups, families, and community organizations from across Massachusetts tomorrow at @MM_Center 🤝 Featured groups include:
 Brightwood Elementary School
South End Community Center
Migs Basketball Team
MLK Community Center
Holyoke YMCA
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Western Mass
Hadley Elementary
…and many more. 🗣️ This turnout is incredible, but our mission goes far beyond one event. Not every gathering will be this big. Our goal is to build a sustainable community program that brings youth groups and families to all ticketed @UMassAthletics events, whether it is twenty people at a game or the sky is the limit. How you can help or get involved: 
• 🤝 Connect us with local youth groups and community organizations
• 🏅 Volunteer as a rep or coordinator for a specific UMass sport
• ❤️ Support the mission with a donation. We receive discounted group rates, but tickets are not free. Every contribution helps us host more families. All donations are tax deductible as we are a registered 501c3 non-profit 👀 More details will follow this event on how to get involved...Let’s keep building the next generation of #UMass fans together.

UPDATE: We have secured an additional 400 tickets and the request form has been re-opened. Tickets will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis until this new allotment is exhausted. Please continue to share widely. We’re thrilled that at tomorrow’s game, only our second event ever, @UMassLegacy will host nearly 3,000 youth and families for @UMassMBB vs. Boston College. #BuildingTheNextGenerationOfUMassFans 🏀📈 🎟️👉 …massachusettscollective.formstack.com/forms/commonwe…

UPDATE: The ticket request form has been temporarily paused for additional submissions due to the overwhelming response so far while the MassMutual Center reviews further availability. We hope to reopen the form if space allows and are waiting for final approval. All ticket requests submitted up to this point have been honored and fulfilled. 🎟️ #GoUMass

UPDATE: We are over 2,500 tickets now with a few groups still getting requests together. Last years attendance for the Springfield game was ~3,200...safe to say we will blow that away this year! #GoUMass #BuildingTheNextGenerationofUMassFans 🏀🎟️👉 …massachusettscollective.formstack.com/forms/commonwe…

@MMahoney224 @YeahImaBoss413 @UMassMBB @BCMBB @MM_Center Great thanks Mike! See you Wednesday!

@UMassLegacy @YeahImaBoss413 @UMassMBB @BCMBB @MM_Center Just got the rest. Thanks for jumping on that!!

@YeahImaBoss413 @MMahoney224 @UMassMBB @BCMBB @MM_Center MassMutual sent out a bulk transfer this morning but they uploaded the file incorrectly. They are fixing the issue now and will be resending shortly. Thanks!

@MMahoney224 @UMassLegacy @UMassMBB @BCMBB @MM_Center Just happened to me.

@MMahoney224 @UMassMBB @BCMBB @MM_Center Let me check with Peter over at @mm__center and I will text you directly.

@UMassLegacy @UMassMBB @BCMBB @MM_Center So I just got my text for my tickets for Wednesday, which is awesome. But I had put in for four tickets (2 kids and 2 guardians) but I only receive one ticket. Are the other 3 tickets going to be sent individually or did I mess something up filling out the form? Thanks
