"The Celtics will have the honor of inaugurating the NBA season by participating in the league's first game on Tuesday, October 20, at 3 p.m. ET, as they travel to Detroit for a prominent Eastern Conference matchup against the Pistons," notes the release.
"Boston will make its season debut at TD Garden on Friday, October 23, facing the New York Knicks , and it will also be showcased on Christmas Day for the 39th time in franchise history when it hosts the Miami Heat ," it continues.
"The ' Celtics Perfect Putter Sweep s' presented by JetBlue, launched today at 12:00 p.m. and features a golf-inspired prize package including a Celtics branded putter, two (2) JetBlue round-trip flight certificates and other Celtics swag including a JetBlue x Celtics bag, hat, and towel," notes the release.
"Building on the campaign’s golf theme, the Celtics and JetBlue will welcome middle school students from Urban Golf Club to Five Iron Golf Seaport for a special community event this afternoon. Students will receive Celtics golf polos before making a game-day-style entrance along the JetBlue Runway and spending the afternoon with Celtics player Jordan Walsh."
"Students will take part in golf simulator challenges, learn golf fundamentals, engage in an interactive Q&A, and enjoy food and prizes, reflecting the organization’s ongoing commitment to youth engagement, athletic mentorship, and community impact," share the Celtics.
