SAN JOSE, Calif. - The SaberCats announced today that they are offering a ticket package that will benefit the family of Johnie Kirton and his two-year old daughter, Jayde for their June 23 game against the Spokane Shock.

The SaberCats organization has put together a means by which their fans can show their support for Johnie and his family in this difficult time. The $30 package consists of two tickets as well as a commemorative #37 pin. For each package sold, the SaberCats will contribute 50% ($15) to the non-withdrawal account that has been established through Chase Bank in the name of Kirton’s parents, Doug and Heather for the benefit of Jayde.
