Chicago Sports Fans Can Support Breast Cancer with TicketBroker.com's 'Tickets for Hope' Program

Chcago, IL (PRWEB) October 21, 2007 -- Dan Nichols, President of TicketBroker.com (http://www.ticketbroker.com) has taken a stand against breast cancer by launching a program that will donate five percent of all ticket sales to the 'Susan G Komen for the Cure' foundation.

The company has always played an active role in charitable donations since its launch 15 years ago, but for Nichols and the staff of TicketBroker.com, the race to find a cure for breast cancer is personal.

"Several of our employees have family members and friends who have had breast cancer. Some are survivors, and some lost their fight. I think we all agree that the women in all our lives are strong, caring and have given us so much. We feel it is time that we give back. Our goals are to donate money for research for the cure, and to help get the word out to the Ticketbroker.com community about breast cancer awareness and early detection," says Nichols.

While many companies have initiated campaigns to raise money to find a cure for breast cancer this month during breast cancer awareness month, Nichols decided that TicketBroker.com would play a larger role in the fight. Though breast cancer awareness month ends at the close of October, TicketBroker.com will continue to donate five percent of all sales to the foundation for an entire year.

"Our goal is to donate a significant amount of money to fund breast cancer research by October 2008. We are calling out to all Chicago area residents to join us in fighting for this cause by choosing to purchase their event tickets through TicketBroker.com," says Nichols.

Event goers can support breast cancer research by purchasing tickets Chicago Bears ticket, Bulls tickets, Hannah Montana tickets, or any of the other hundreds of events tickets online at http://www.ticketbroker.com

"Chicagoans are a very loyal and dedicated group of individuals. We know that if we join together, we can help make a big contribution to finding the cure and stop the devastation that has affected so many families -- including some of our own," says Nichols.

The Importance Of Being A Leader In Sports
During my NFL career, I learned that leadership is a trait that all athletes have deep inside of them. Unfortunately, I found that most players do not know how to apply their leadership skills. It is the inability to apply leadership that sets the regular NFL players apart from the true greats such as LaDainian Tomlinson, Marvin Harrison, Peyton Manning, and Brett Favre. These fine players are all strong leaders. It is their powerful leadership skills that inspire their teammates to come together as a team and play at the best of their ability - even when they are losing.

The scene seemed to mirror the epic battles of gladiators in ancient Rome. The sound from the indoor arena was deafening. Fans stood on their feet, pumping fists in the air and chanting "DEFENSE! DEFENSE!" The visiting team's star player lowered his shoulder and then drove towards the basket. As the final few seconds of the contest ticked off the game clock, the defending player crashed to the floor. Another offensive player sprung into the air, his fingertips barely clearing another defender's outstretched arm. After the shot, the ball bounced off the rim three times, and then reluctantly fell through the orange metal ring. Who won? Who lost? Does the shot count? The wireless hidden camera knows.
