DONATE FOOD TO METROPOLITAN MINISTRIES AND RECEIVE FREE TICKET VOUCHERS TO RINGLING BROS. AND BARNUM & BAILEY® CIRCUS

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey is again collecting food to help stock Metropolitan Ministries’ pantry shelves.  During this difficult economy and as the holidays approach, the agency’s need for food donations is increasing.

For one day only, Thursday, November 17 between 10a.m.- 12p.m., Ringling Bros. is offering Tampa Bay consumers the opportunity to energize their community and donate non-perishable, unexpired food items in exchange for ticket vouchers to DRAGONS, a once in a millennium event that honors The Year of the Dragon. A donation of 10 food items entitles each consumer to one ticket voucher, with a limit of four vouchers (40 food items donated) per household. Vouchers can be redeemed at the St. Pete Times Forum box office for the Wednesday, Jan. 4, 7:30 p.m. opening night performance.  Ticket vouchers are available to those who donate on a first-come, first-serve basis while supplies last.  Free ticket vouchers apply to opening night.

The St. Pete Times Forum Box Office is located on the Northwest side of the venue at 401 Channelside Drive. Short-term (15 minutes) parking is available on the circle drive in front of the St. Pete Times Forum except during events.
