Trenton Thunder News Release
(Trenton, NJ) - The Trenton Thunder, the Double-A Affiliate of the New York Yankees, have announced that the fourth annual "Gift of Baseball" program is now underway. The "Gift of Baseball" initiative is a way fans can give Thunder tickets to underprivileged families this holiday season.
For each Thunder season ticket, half season ticket, Mini Ticket Package or Pic-A-Plan purchased between now and December 19 the Thunder will supply one underprivileged family with tickets to a game during the 2009 season. Each of the families receiving tickets will be part of the Holiday Gift Outreach program run by Children's Home Society of New Jersey. This is the fourth consecutive year that the Thunder have teamed with the Children's Home Society of New Jersey for this program.
Thunder season tickets, half season tickets, Mini Ticket Packages and Pic-A-Plans are all on sale now by calling 609-394-3300.
Over the last three years, fans helped the Thunder donate 1,888 tickets to the families involved with this program.
"We want all the families from in and around Trenton to be able to enjoy the Thunder entertainment experience. This program is great because it gives that opportunity to some families who might not ordinarily be able to do so," said Thunder General Manager Will Smith. "Our hope is that we will be able to provide even more families with a night at the ballpark in their stockings this year."
The Children's Home Society of New Jersey provides at-risk children and their families with a range of services that empower them to achieve their potential. They are child-oriented, family focused, community based, and outcome-oriented.
The Thunder will begin defense of their back-to-back Eastern League championships on Wednesday, April 8 as they host the Binghamton Mets (New York Mets). Trenton will host the Eastern League All-Star Game on Wednesday, July 15.
Groups outings, season tickets, mini ticket packages and Pic-A-Plans are available now. Single game tickets, including for the All-Star game, will go on sale February 2, 2009.
