Indiana Pacers star Paul George decided to use some of his newfound wealth (between $80 and $90 million) to make others happy. After signing a max contract in the offseason, George decided to buy every single one of the seats available for Fresno State’s Nov. 16 game against Cal State Northridge and simply give them away for free.
The Fresno Business Journal reported this fantastic story of a pro giving back to the alma mater that helped him get to the next level:
George purchased the tickets for the Save Mart Center’s full 15,596-seat configuration.
All season ticket holders will have their same seats for the opener.
Fans will need to print off a voucher at http://imgur.com/8fxYsZm, then redeem those vouchers at the Save Mart Center ticket office. Vouchers are available immediately and are redeemable for one ticket each.
Fresno State Athletics Director of Development Jennifer Jory also shared George’s gesture.
