Rewards of Reading Program Has Launched 11/13/2008

The Big West Conference, in conjunction with The Old Spaghetti Factory restaurants, has launched the Rewards of Reading program to elementary schools local to Big West Conference universities. The program encourages elementary school students - from Kindergarten through fourth grade - to read for rewards. Every student who reads five books will receive free admission to any Big West basketball game of choice (from a participating institution) and a free Kid’s Meal from The Old Spaghetti Factory.

Students must redeem the Big West basketball game ticket and The Old Spaghetti Factory meal vouchers by no later than Saturday, March 14th, 2009, the final day of the Big West Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournament. However, both vouchers do not need to be redeemed on the same day.

The Big West Conference voucher may be utilized at any of the following universities: Cal State Fullerton, Long Beach State, UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC Riverside and University of the Pacific. Simply present the voucher to the ticket booth and receive a free admission to that night’s game. Please call the school’s box office in advance to assure ticket availability.

The Old Spaghetti Factory voucher may be redeemed at the following locations: Duarte, Fullerton, Newport Beach, Rancho Cucamonga, Riverside, Sacramento, and Stockton. Simply present the voucher to your server and receive a free Kid’s Meal.
