The 29th Annual Flyers Wives Fight For Lives Carnival will take place at the Wachovia Center on Sunday, March 26 from 1:30 until 6:30 p.m. This popular event is organized and produced by the Comcast-Spectacor Foundation, the charitable arm of Comcast-Spectacor.

The Wachovia Center will be transformed into professional sports largest fund-raiser, including photo booths and autograph sessions with Flyers players and alumni, shoot on goal, dunk tanks and other games of chance. Fans can also have their photograph taken with the Stanley Cup.

Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for children ages two through 12 and can be purchased by contacting the Flyers Charities office at (215) 389-9426 during normal business hours, in person at the Flyers Box Office in the Wachovia Center or via email at fwives@comcast-spectacor.com <mailto:fwives@comcast-spectacor.com>. Children under two years old do not need a ticket.

As the largest fundraising event of the year for the Comcast-Spectacor Foundation, fans can also bid on items through an online auction. Fans can also purchase mystery gift boxes, which could contain autographed jerseys, signed bobble head dolls or Flyers apparel.

In addition to the games and activities at the Carnival, fans can purchase a chance to win one of two raffles: 2006 Mercedes-Benz and a 2006 Harley-Davidson.
