LDF CEO Drew Moser and UC San Diego Athletic Director Earl Edwards as LDF honors the “Share the Rock, Share the Luck” pledge by donating $27,000 toward ending youth homelessness thanks to the men’s team’s 18 assists and the women’s team’s 7 assists on “Lucky Duck Night,” as well as two free throws made by CBS-8’s John Howard.
UC San Diego basketball hosted “Lucky Duck Night” during two home games at LionTree Arena – the women’s game vs. UC Irvine on February 8 and the men’s game vs. Hawaii on February 22.
Co-branded t-shirts were given away*, Timmy’s Place pizza was served**, and our collective efforts to end youth homelessness were featured on the arena video boards and during the ESPN+ broadcasts.
When the Tritons “shared the rock,” we “shared the luck” by donating $1,000 toward ending youth homelessness for every UC San Diego assist. The women’s team had 7 assists against UC Irvine, the men’s team had 18 assists vs. Hawaii, and CBS-8’s John Howard made a few baskets to add to our donation.
*T-shirts were given out to the first 750 fans at the February 6 men’s game and the first 250 fans at the February 8 women’s game.
**Timmy’s Place pizza was served at the February 22 men’s game at the Student Fanfest. UC San Diego will also utilize Timmy’s Place for tailgates at various games throughout the year.
