39. DONATION OF 400 TICKETS TO PROFESSIONAL SPORTING EVENTS FOR USE BY HEAD START FAMILIES Accept a donation of 200 tickets from the Phoenix Mercury organization for use by Head Start families to attend a basketball game on August 20, 2010. Each ticket has a value of $10; the total value of this donation is $2,000. Also accept a donation of 200 tickets from the Arizona Diamondback organization for use by Head Start families to attend two baseball games. One hundred tickets have been offered for the game on August 6, 2010 and another 100 tickets for the game on August 8, 2010. Each ticket is valued at $15 per ticket for a donation of $3,000. Total value of donated tickets from both sports organizations is $5,000. One of the goals of the Head Start program is to educate children and strengthen families and acceptance of these tickets could provide a bonding experience for some families who might not ordinarily have had such an opportunity.
