The American Subcontractors Association (ASA) of Minnesota and John Lloyd of Lloyd’s Construction Services are asking for help to give back to the soldiers and their families that protect our freedom by supporting "Tickets for the Troops."

The goal of the effort is to raise funds to purchase 500 tickets for Minnesota soldiers and their families for the Minnesota Twins vs. the Detroit Tigers game on Sunday, May 27, 2012.

It’s Memorial Day weekend and there is no time more fitting to say thank you to the special people that have sacrificed so much for all of us.

Tickets will be distributed through the Minnesota National Guard Family Service Center.

Lloyd’s Construction Services, Inc., of Savage, MN has kicked off the event by purchasing 60 tickets.

Tickets are $35 each and 100% of proceeds will go directly to the cause.

Anyone who would like to help is requested to send a check payable to the Minnesota Twins in the amount of your donation to the address below by April 20, 2012:

ASA Minnesota Tickets for the Troops c/o Lloyd’s Construction Services Inc.

7207 West 128th St.
