Pat yourselves on the backs, everyone. The Here We Buy Night ticket drive is over … because we destroyed all expectations. Here's what Ed wrote in the donation thread …

Since Ed and Kevin won't do it themselves: a HUGE round of applause of Ed and Kevin. They have been spending tons of time promoting the initiative and tracking/recording donations. Thursday and Friday, they'll be buying the tickets and getting them to three youth organizations, including the COS Foundation. Two of those three organizations will be distributing tickets to smaller youth organizations around the region.

Huge thanks also go out to the full Here We Stay/Here We Buy contingent, Carmichael Dave, the folks at Sports 1140 (especially Jason Ross and Deuce Mason, and of course our friend Grant Napear), Crown Downtown, the media who have covered the drive and of course every single person who was able to make a donation. This is all humbling and amazing to me.

We still need more people at the game. There are still StR members hoping to score some tickets but without the disposable income to do so. Let's help them out, if you can.

Sac-ra-men-to!
