Tri-City ValleyCats News Release


TROY, NY -- On Wednesday, July 28th, the Tri-City ValleyCats will hold the third annual "Going Green Night" at Joseph L. Bruno Stadium.

Prior to the ValleyCats 7pm game versus the Red Sox affiliate Lowell Spinners, the NYS Consumer Pro - tection Board, 3N Document Destruction, and the ValleyCats will host "Shred-the-Word!", a document shredding event. With identity theft on the rise, shredding invaluable documents is as important as its even been. In order to protect your identity, the shredding truck will be located at Joseph L. Bruno Sta - dium from 3pm to 6pm in the parking lot outside the stadium.

SEFCU has donated 5,000 reusable grocery bags to be handed out during the game and Gallivan Com - panies will be handing out eco-friendly "going green" awareness bracelets as well as drawstring bags made from recycled materials. Other eco-friendly giveaways will be handed out at different tabling dis - plays as part of our Green Vendor Fair that will take place throughout the game.

Partners for "Going Green Night" include SEFCU, National Grid, Waste Management, United States Department of Agriculture (Stop the Beetle), Gallivan Companies, ERC Community Warehouse, groSolar, Eco Water Systems, Wolberg Electric, Bath Fitter, NYS Consumer Protection Board, Crawford Doors & Windows (Pella), and NYSERDA.

During this event these organizations will be displaying their products, services, and green practices throughout our concourse as they help us educate our fans and the community on ways to help the envi - ronment in their everyday lives.

Our Going Green mascot Zoggy will be leading the festivities including the recycling stretch, where our ushers will go up and down the isles to collect recyclable materials. Throughout the evening we will be using our state-of-the-art video board to highlight some of our partners and pass along energy-saving tips.

Tickets are still available for Wednesday's game and may be purchased at the stadium box office, call - ing (518) 629-CATS or by logging on to www.tcvalleycats.com.
