EVANSTON, Ill. - After a fun and successful Evanston Day at Wildcat Football in September, Northwestern University's Athletic Department and the City of Evanston have announced plans for Evanston Day at Welsh-Ryan Arena.

All Evanston residents are invited to watch the Wildcat men's basketball team take on Georgia Tech in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge on Tuesday, November 30. Tip-off is set for 6 p.m.

Evanston residents can purchase discounted $17 tickets to the game online at NUsports.com with the promotion code NUEVD (discounted tickets must be purchased in advance).

The Northwestern Student-Athlete Advisory Committee will also be collecting non-perishable food items at the game as part of their annual food drive to benefit Evanston's Family Focus. All fans that donate a non-perishable food item at the game will be entered to win roundtrip airfare compliments of American Airlines.
