The University of New Mexico Parent Association is partnering with UNM athletics to offer the first “Parent Day at the Pit” special event Saturday, Feb. 21. Tip-off for the UNM vs. San Diego State men’s basketball is at 1 p.m. The association will host a pre-game reception from 11 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. at the President’s Pavilion (located at the south end of University Stadium). Pre-registration is required online at UNM Parent Association. The deadline is Friday, Feb. 20 at noon.
Festivities will include a silent auction, door prizes, food and an appearance by Lobo Louie and Lucy. All proceeds from the silent auction benefit the Parent Association’s UNM student scholarship fund.
UNM students, both undergraduate and graduate, who attend the university and are enrolled in at least 6 credit hours receive free admission into athletic events with a valid Lobo Card. Additionally, students may purchase up to three $10 discount tickets at the Pit ticket office for their guests/parents/family members.
Tickets for the Parent Association reception are $5 per person. Pre-registration is required online at UNM Parent Association or call (505) 277-5915.
