Minneapolis, MN - Scrimmage, a state-of-the-art mobile learning technology firm, and its philanthropic arm, Scrimmage Gives Back, has teamed up with Minneapolis/St. Paul-based philanthropy, Spare Key, on several levels.

Through Scrimmage Gives Back, Scrimmage is set to support Spare Key’s “Big Game” raffle campaign. Spare Key is offering 250 raffle tickets (for $250/each), with two winners selected to attend Super Bowl LII, taking place in Minneapolis on February 4th. The winning tickets will be announced on the Twin Cities Live program, January 19th airing at 3pm on Channel 5, the local ABC affiliate.

All proceeds from this fundraising campaign will go to the Spare Key organization, and its efforts to support families with critically ill, or seriously injured children in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin.  A main focus of support includes mortgage grants to secure a home, in order for families to concentrate on the child’s health and well-being. 

Raffle tickets may be purchased in the following ways:

 

·          Send a check for each raffle ticket to Spare Key at U.S. Bank Center, 101 E 5th Street, Suite 1100, Saint Paul, MN 55101 and Spare Key will mail you your raffle tickets.

 

·          Beginning January 2nd, you may come to Spare Key’s Office at U.S. Bank Center, 101 E 5th Street, Suite 1100, Saint Paul, MN 55101 and purchase tickets in person.

Scrimmage, through Scrimmage Gives Back, will be giving away its block of tickets in association with the #ScrimmageKickoff2018 promotion.  This social media based promotion pays homage to not only Scrimmage’s Minneapolis headquarters and home to this year’s Super Bowl, but also its robust, award-winning mobile learning platform that features social learning and Gamification, among other capabilities. #LearnWhenYouPlay (http://go.wescrimmage.com/kickoff2018)
