Jersey Shore BlueClaws News Release
LAKEWOOD, NJ - The BlueClaws and Rutgers Against Hunger will partner on a food drive at the May 1st BlueClaws game at FirstEnergy Park. First pitch is at 6:35 pm.
Anyone that donates non-perishable food at the May 1st game will receive a voucher for two tickets to any remaining BlueClaws game in May.
"There has been an increase among those who need food assistance in the last year and the BlueClaws are pleased to be able to continue to help fight hunger in New Jersey," said BlueClaws General Manager Brandon Marano. "We are grateful to Rutgers Against Hunger for their support."
The May 1st game begins at 6:35 and is the annual BlueClaws Charities Volunteer Appreciation Night. There will be a large representation at the game among the 45 BlueClaws Charities Community Partners who will have tables on the concourse. Many volunteers from these organizations will be present as well.
Rutgers Against Hunger works to increase awareness of hunger, encourage activism and service to tackle hunger, stimulate research to assist those in need, and provide immediate relief through food drives and other events to raise money and collect food.
Rutgers Against Hunger partners with the New Jersey Federation of Food Banks which includes The Community FoodBank of New Jersey, the Food Bank of South Jersey, the FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties, the Mercer Street Friends Food Bank, and NORWESCAP Food Bank as well as several other community food banks and pantries throughout the state. Visit RAH.Rutgers.edu for more information.
The May 1st game is also BlueClaws Derby Preview Night, presented by Monmouth Park, and the second "We Salute You Wednesday," honoring military members.
BlueClaws Charities, the official non-profit foundation of the Lakewood BlueClaws, raises money throughout the year and returns the money to the community in the form of grants to the 45 Community Partners and donations to other non-profit organizations.
