BLOOMSBURG—The Bloomsburg University Athletic Department is announcing a new program called Husky First to promote attendance at the first home events for the Huskies sports teams in 2016-17.
 
Husky First games will be a game at the start of the season for all the Huskies sports teams during the 2016-17 season. All fans of Bloomsburg will be encouraged to come out and support the Huskies. At halftime BU fans will have an opportunity to compete for prizes in the PSECU halftime contest. Fans are encouraged to use the hashtag #HuskyFirst when tweeting from or about the games.
 
Everyone who checks into the game via the Philadelphia Federal Credit Union (PFCU) Roongo's Rewards app (free to download through ITunes and Google Play) will be put into a drawing in the spring of 2017 for a grand prize sponsored by PSECU.
 
Following the Husky First events BU fans will have a chance to participate in some post-game activities which may include Bubble Soccer; selfies with Roongo and more.
