The Houston Dynamo, Dash and BBVA Compass are teaming up to offer free admission to games on June 5 and 6 to Houston-area first responders as a thank you for their efforts in the community during this period of severe weather and flooding. The Dynamo host the New York Red Bulls on June 5 (8 p.m. kickoff), while the Dash take on Portland Thorns FC on June 6 at BBVA Compass Stadium (7:30 p.m. kickoff).

Local firefighters, police officers, paramedics and emergency medical technicians can claim their complimentary tickets and purchase additional tickets for either match at HoustonDynamo.com/FirstResponders (must show valid first responder ID at box office for pickup; seats are subject to availability).

“We sincerely appreciate the efforts of our first responders and the work they do in our community every day,” Dynamo and Dash team president Chris Canetti said. “In light of the recent events in our city and the heroic efforts put in by first responders, we want to offer them an opportunity to relax and enjoy a Dynamo and Dash game. This expression of gratitude is our small way of saying thank you.”

The general public can also support relief efforts in the region with special ticket packages for both games that include a $5 donation to the Greater Houston Red Cross, available at HoustonDynamo.com/RedCross.

Fans who have already purchased tickets to the June 5 and 6 matchups can donate to the Greater Houston Red Cross on game night at the Dynamo Charities table inside BBVA Compass Stadium. Fans may also call (713) 276-GOAL for either ticket package or for more information on Dynamo and Dash tickets.
