TYLER Habitat for Humanity of Smith County, Buffalo Wild Wings of Tyler and KTBB Radio have joined forces to throw one of Tylers biggest Big Game parties. The event will raise money to ensure that Habitat continues its mission of eliminating substandard housing by building and repairing homes for people in need. The event will take place on Sunday, February 6, at Tylers Buffalo Wild Wings, 7916 South Broadway Avenue. In addition to watching the Packers and Steelers on the restaurants giant screens, customers can purchase $5 raffle tickets and have the opportunity to win great prizes. KTBBs sportscaster Jamie Lent will be the evenings MC and will raffle off prizes throughout the game.
One reason we believe this event is going to be a success is because of the support of local businesses, said Deanna Harrison, Habitats Director of Development. Adams Furniture and Appliance donated a 42-inch LG Plasma HD TV for our grand prize. Zales and Murphey the Jeweler have donated beautiful necklaces, and we have a fabulous leather recliner from Adams Furniture that was donated by one of Habitats most faithful supporters. And Tanner Todd from Fnc Ponds Stone and Grass will be creating a Rock Bubbler for some lucky winners office or home.
In addition to being the site of the fundraising event, Buffalo Wild Wings will be donating to Habitat for Humanity 10% of their proceeds from the sale of food and drink. They have also contributed items for the raffle drawing such as a golf bag, a cooler with iPod dock, and outdoor chairs.
