Ticket vouchers must be redeemed at the Times Union Center box office prior to the Empire home game chosen by the fan.

We hope our efforts will help the Food Bank provide for families well into the summer season,” said Hannaford Supermarkets Community Relations Specialist, Brian Fabre. “We encourage fans to join us for an afternoon of great arena football action while supporting an organization vital to the health of our community.”
