BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – WKU Athletics is excited to announce the launch of Big Red's Summer Reading Challenge, a program that will enable qualified kids in the Bowling Green community to earn free tickets to a 2023 WKU Football game.
Big Red's Summer Reading Challenge is designed specifically for kids in grades 1-8 who attend a Title I School in the area. This year, all Warren County Public Schools and Bowling Green Independent Schools are invited to participate. The program continues an already strong partnership between WKU Athletics and Title I schools in the local community.
To complete Big Red's Summer Reading Challenge, qualified kids must complete the reading requirements and associated reading journal. The journal can be submitted online, in-person at the WKU Ticket Office, or in the student's classroom during the first week of school (Aug. 15-18). Submissions will be accepted starting July 1 and run through Aug. 18. Students who complete the challenge will earn two free tickets to any 2023 WKU Football home game.
Once the challenge has been completed, students and their families have two options to redeem their free tickets. Those who submit their form online or in their classroom will be added to a list and can pick up their tickets on gameday at will call, located at Gate 3 and Gate 4 at Houchens-Smith Stadium. Those submitting in person at the WKU Ticket Office can claim their tickets there.
There is no limit to the number of kids per household who can complete the challenge, but only one journal can be submitted per child. Families who need to purchase additional tickets as part of the summer reading challenge can do so at a discounted rate of $10 per ticket if their child has submitted a journal. Ages two and under are free to attend football games at Houchens-Smith Stadium.
Parents or fans with questions about Big Red's Summer Reading Challenge can contact Audrey Griffin via email at audrey.griffin537@topper.wku.edu, or call the WKU Ticket Office at 1-800-5-BIG-RED.
