Oklahoma City Yard Dawgz News Release
The Oklahoma City Yard Dawgz are hosting "Bring a Book to the Game" on June 26, 2010, in conjunction with Bank of Oklahoma to collect children's books for their annual Book Drive campaign.
"By helping young children develop a love for reading now, we can engage them in a learning process that will help them become successful adults in our community," said John Higginbotham, Bank of Oklahoma-OKC Chief Operating Officer. "We encourage everyone to donate a book at any BOK branch throughout June and at the Yard Dawgz game on June 26 to make sure any child who needs a book can have one."
The Yard Dawgz encourage fans to donate a new or gently used children's book to the BOK Book Drive at their next home game on June 26. Each donor will receive a ticket to that night's game with the donation of a children's book. Tickets are limited to one per book per customer.
"Finding ways to incorporate community partners into our game day is something we strive to do and we are excited to partner with Bank of Oklahoma on their June book drive to benefit the Oklahoma City Junior League. We feel this is a worthy cause and will benefit many children within the Oklahoma City area," said Christie Cook, OKC Yard Dawgz General Manager.
Yard Dawgz player, CJ McLain, will be reading to a group of children on Wednesday, June 23, 2010, at 11 a.m. at the Barnes & Noble 6100 N. May Ave. location.
