Chesapeake Baysox News Release


BOWIE, Md. - The Bowie Baysox and their lovable mascot Louie announced today the return of Louie's Holiday Hope Project for the third consecutive year. With the help of the Bowie Police Department and Prince George's County Fire/EMS Department, the Baysox will brighten the holiday season for local families in need.

Baysox Assistant General Manager Phil Wrye has watched the program grow over the years. "We love working with our partners in the community," Wrye said. "We are optimistic that more local organizations will recognize the need in our community, and will help contribute to this outstanding program."

Fans can nominate deserving families for Louie's Holiday Hope Project by e-mailing Louie at louie@baysox.com with the family's name, contact info and the family's situation. The team will not be able to help everyone that is nominated, but will consider multiple options to help several families. A Baysox staff member may contact the submitter for additional details or clarification, but all submissions remain confidential. Entries must be received by 3 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 14.

The Baysox encourage other local groups and organizations to participate in Louie's Holiday Hope Project. Local organizations that would like to make a contribution to the program can e-mail Louie at louie@baysox.com or call the front office at (301) 805-6000.
