SMU Announces Summer Reading Program
Children can earn tickets by reading 10 books

June 17, 2014

DALLAS (SMU) - The Mustangs are inviting children to participate in a summer reading program, sponsored by the SMU Athletics Department. Kids of all ages are invited to take part in the program.

In order to complete the program, children need to register and download a participation form, read 10 books of your choice, write the book titles on the form and return it to SMU Athletics. Registration is free, and available at www.smumustangs.com/perunaspals/index.html.

Each person who completes the summer reading program will earn a pair of tickets to an SMU football game, a men's and women's soccer match, and a women's basketball game. Fans can choose among any of the home conference football games, but the soccer and basketball game dates will be set later. For more questions, contact Gentry Beck at 214-768-4163, or via email at [email protected].

good idea.

This is another good community outreach program idea.

Agreed. If this gets kids to read AND attend SMU games?
Win-win.

This is a great idea. I signed my daughter up for it. You get a choice between 4 FB games: Cinci, Memphis, USF or Houston (you have to pick which FB game you want when you turn the form in; I guess the other games are GA tickets?). Great way to get folks involved and encourage kids to read over the summer.
