QUEENS, N.Y. – Through a partnership with Prolific 1, the Exclusive Ticket Distribution Partner of St. John’s Athletics, St. John’s Sports Properties welcomed Vet Tix during the men’s basketball contest against Connecticut this past Saturday, February 3 at Madison Square Garden.

“Prolific 1 has been a trusted partner for many years,” said Kevin Waters, General Manager of St. John’s Sports Properties.  “Having them utilize our partnership to benefit such a great organization like Vet Tix is truly special.”

Vet Tix provides tickets to events which reduce stress, strengthen family bonds, build life-long memories and encourage service members and veterans to stay engaged with local communities and American life. They support our troops by honoring their service and providing positive family and life experiences, during and after their years of service to our country.
