Donate Your Tickets

Can't make it to the game but you want someone to enjoy it? Donate them back to the community!

The Wildcat Athletic Department established the Ticket Turnaround program in 2006 which allows you to donate the tickets you are not able to use to someone less fortunate. Thank you to all of the Wildcat fans who have made the Ticket Turnaround Program a success, including former Wildcat Football stars Barry Cofield and Luis Castillo. Cofield of the 2008 Super Bowl Champion New York Giants and Castillo of the San Diego Chargers have donated over 800 tickets to Wildcat football and basketball games for use by Family Focus, Y.O.U of Evanston and many other organizations.

If you would like to donate your unused tickets, please send them to the McGaw YMCA to be donated back into the community. This will give someone a chance to attend a game that they otherwise would be unable to see in person. If you have any questions regarding this program, feel free to email us at catsgiveback@northwestern.edu.

Please mail your unused tickets at least one week prior to the scheduled athletic event to the address below. Be sure to include a separate piece of paper with your name, address, and the number of tickets you donated to which game(s).

Former Wildcats Luis Castillo of the San Diego Chargers and Barry Cofield of the 2008 Super Bowl Champion New York Giants donated tickets to Family Focus and Y.O.U. in Evanston. As special guests of Cofield and Castillo, the kids went on the field to form a tunnel for the team to run through as they took the field to start the game! They also received Wildcat memorabilia and a special welcome on the videoboard.
