Kings selling tickets to NM Thunderbirds Games
1/2 of all proceeds go to the Kings 2010/2011 season!
The Albuquerque Kings have teamed up with the New Mexico Thunderbirds to help raise money for our 2010/2011 basketball season. Tickets are $10, and 1/2 of all ticket proceeds go directly to the Kings. We also plan on having a booth there and playing an exhibition game at half time. If you never seen us play, this is a great way to get exposed to wheelchair basketball.

19th TEXAS INTERNATIONAL SHOOTOUT WHEELCHAIR BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT
The Kings will participate in the Texas International Shootout in September. We will compete against several NWBA teams from around the nation and many teams from around the world. (roster has yet to be announced).
We need all the support we can get. If you are interested in Sponsoring the Kings contact us as soon as possible. We can accommodate corporate sponsorship on our jerseys and wheelchairs including website exposure.
Last year the Kings took a 18-20 hour drive to Houston in order to participate. We held fundraisers around town including at the Albuquerque Summerfest and had raffles in front of various Walmarts around the city. We appreciate all the community support which made the trip possible last year. This year we hope to be able to fly down as the drive alone can be wearing when you’re competing against the best in the nation.
