ZogSports Supports Your Partying Habit.

You could spend $100+ on weak drinks and weaker company at any bar in your neighborhood, or you could put that money to better use: a quality open bar, fabulous company, and a donation to a worthy charity.

On May 12, ditch the over-crowded meat markets and do something different. Help support a great cause while you're at it.

ZogSports is throwing its biggest ever fundraiser to benefit our new cause, the The Play For Your Cause "Build-A-Field" Fund.

For the same amount you'd spend on an average night on the town, you and your friends can party with an all-night OPEN BAR, hang with fellow fun Zogsters, and add to that warm and fuzzy feeling the alcohol gives you with the knowledge that a portion of your ticket price is going to help us build facilities for youth sports in the New York-metro area – brand new fields/gyms that ZogSports members will also benefit from!

Support the cause. We'll support your partying habit.

Tickets available at www.ZogSports.org

Are you already prepping for the big night? Tell us about it!
