Chesapeake Baysox News Release


BOWIE, Md. - The Bowie Baysox announce today that the Oriole Advocates will collect new and used sports equipment at Prince George's Stadium Saturday, May 14, as the Baysox take on the Akron Aeros at 6:35 p.m. The organization collects the equipment for its Cardboard To Leather program, which provides equipment to underprivileged children in developing countries.

Baysox General Manager Brian Shallcross has personally donated equipment to the program. "The Baysox love working with the Oriole Advocates on the Cardboard To Leather program," Shallcross said. "Over the last few years, our front office, our players and our fans all helped make the collection a big success, we hope our fans show their support again this year with another huge number of donations."

The Cardboard To Leather program accepts donations of all baseball and softball equipment: bats, balls, gloves, uniforms, bags and spikes. Baseball gloves, duffle bags and useable helmets are the hardest items for Cardboard to Leather to acquire.

If fans are unable to make it to the game, they can bring donations to the Baysox office during regular business hours, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. Donations are accepted throughout the season.

Since the program's inception, more than 50 tons of baseball equipment have been sent to children in developing countries.
