Jersey Shore BlueClaws News Release


LAKEWOOD, N.J. - With their annual ALS Celebrity Waiter event coming up on May 27th, the BlueClaws have announced the sports memorabilia that will be a part of the evening, at which all the proceeds go towards the ALS Association of Greater Philadelphia.

Included in the lot are an autographed Steve Carlton jersey and an autographed Ryan Howard baseball, plus a jersey and batting helmet signed by all the current BlueClaws players.

Additionally, fans can bid on a baseball autographed by former Yankee and current Cubs OF Alfonso Soriano as well as one by former Yankee and current Cubs manager Lou Piniella.

"This is always one of our most popular events, and this year should be no different," said BlueClaws General Manager Geoff Brown. "It's a great evening and a lot of fun is had by all, plus great memorabilia and proceeds go to an outstanding cause. We're looking forward to it."

At the event, current BlueClaws players wait on tables and the coaching staff serves as the bartenders.

Proceeds from ticket price, the memorabilia auction, as well as all tips earned by the players and coaching staff will go to the ALS Association of Greater Philadelphia.

For the second straight year, the event will take place at FirstEnergy Park, with the gates opening at 6:30 pm. The BlueClaws game that day takes place at 11:05 am.

Tickets are available for $40, and reservations must be made in advance as seating is limited. To book a table, or for more information, call Lisa Carone at 732- 901-7000 ext. 192.

The event, now in its ninth season, has raised over $80,000 for the ALS Association of Greater Philadelphia in its first eight years.

The Lakewood BlueClaws welcomed 425,166 fans to FirstEnergy Park during the 2008 season which upped their eight-season total to 3,595,378. They have led the South Atlantic League in average or overall attendance in each of their eight seasons.

Children, ages 12 and under, eat for free at every BlueClaws 2009 home game, thanks to NJ 101.5 and ShopRite.
