Neighbor to Neighbor Poker Run 2026
This community poker-themed fundraiser in downtown South Bend invites participants to buy playing hands in advance, then visit five local stops to collect cards and work with friends to build the strongest hand. After the run, everyone comes together at Stockroom East for refreshments, music, and the announcement of prize winners. Proceeds benefit Neighbor to Neighbor’s Newcomer Assistance Fund, providing essential assistance to refugee families in St. Joseph County.

Notre Dame Fighting Irish Blue & Gold Football Game Tickets
Tickets are available for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish Blue & Gold Game, a college football showcase. Through the MyCityRocks Ticket Exchange, a variety of seating options are offered along with parking, hotel, and hospitality packages. The marketplace includes premium seats and suites, and sometimes tickets are listed below face value, even when the original box office is sold out. Since 2005, the exchange reports fulfilling over 100,000 orders and listing more than 40 million tickets across sports, concerts, and theatre. Purchases are covered by a 100% authenticity guarantee, with a full refund if the event is canceled without a rescheduled date, excluding shipping. Listings are set by individual sellers, so prices may be above or below face value, and the exchange is not affiliated with the team or venue.
