Bristol Sox Supporting Local Charities

July 9, 2012 - Appalachian League (ApL)
Bristol White Sox News Release


The Bristol White Sox's season is under way, along with two charitable campaigns sponsored by the Sox and Bristol Baseball, Incorporated.

The Bristol White Sox, also known as the Bristol Sox, are operated by Bristol Baseball, Incorporated, a non-profit organization operated by an all-volunteer Board which has no full-time paid staff.

Nearly 10,000 patrons have passed through the gates at Boyce Cox Field thus far in 2012, and they have supported the Sox Community Fund by their purchase of raffle tickets at the ballgames. The tickets are sold by the United Way and its partner agencies.

"We are happy to announce that the Sox Community Fund has raised more than $1250 for local non-profits in the first third of the season," said Mahlon Luttrell, President of Bristol Baseball, Incorporated and General Manager for the Sox. "As we get the word out about this program, we hope to do more to benefit our community as the season rolls along."

The Ks for Kids program is funded by Lopez Wealth Management, which contributes $10 for every strikeout by a Sox pitcher to the Boys and Girls Club.

"The Ks for Kids program has raised $1660" said Luttrell. "Our pitching staff has been at or near the top of the Appalachian League strikeouts list all season long, and in addition to helping the team, they are helping the children of our community."
