Press Release- a press release was posted on Friars.com to announce the strategic partnership

Pregame- RIMI doctor's presented the game ball prior to the game starting
Hospitality- RIMI guests hosted a private event upstairs in the Budweiser Club
Tabling- an hour prior to the game and during the first half RIMI volunteers were strategically stationed throughout the concourse encouraging fans to fill out the 'Stand Up to Cancer' cards
