I am writing this because I think my son Austin truly deserves front row tickets to see his favorite arena football team, the Colorado Crush. The reason I feel my son is so deserving of these tickets, is because of his support of his younger brother. You see, Austin's brother, Hunter, plays competetive soccer, which means most of our Saturdays are filled will games, during the week there is always soccer practice, and of course with any competetive sport, there is always travel to out of statetournaments. Austin is always on the sidelines wearing the team colors, supporting not only his brother's team but constantly rooting his brother on, He never complains when we have dinner at 7:45 because his brother had practice, and of course, the occasional "can you drive your brother to practice" rarely gets a groan.
As a mother, I couldn't be more proud of my two boys. One for the success he has had on the soccer field and the other for the kind of character he displays on the sideline. I would love for our family to show Austin our support by doing something he is passionate about, which indeed is the Colorado Crush. It is rare that at the age of 18 a young person shows this kind of dedication to their family, especially a younger brother.It would be great to reward Austin with something he would never forget. Hewould be in Heaven to be that close to all of the action, instead of in the nosebleed sectionhe is accustomed to! He is a true Crush fan...the kind that wakes up and immediately turns the game on , finds the radio station that is playing the game, or sits at the computer hitting the refresh button just to get the score. I think my son is the kind of young person that should be celebrated...He is a champion in our book!

Thank you for considering : )
