HOUSTON, Oct. 22, 2013 / 3BL Media /PRNewswire/ -- CITGO Petroleum Corporation announced a new partnership with Huddle Inc., and the launch of the CITGO & Huddle Inc. High School Ticket Program. Through this exciting new program running from through May 2014, CITGO will help 222 high schools in Tampa, Fla.; Mobile, Dothan and Montgomery, Ala.; and Greenville and New Bern, N.C. save more than $150,000 by offsetting the schools' ticket printing costs.
Through the CITGO & Huddle Inc. High School Ticket Program, CITGO can save its high school partners the cost of printing school event tickets by providing printed tickets to the schools at no cost. Each ticket also includes a CITGO coupon that is customized by market, ranging from CITGO discounts to giveaways at local CITGO stations.

"By offsetting required ticket costs, more than 200 schools can now focus resources on other, more critical needs for their classrooms."
