NORMAL, Illinois - The CornBelters and Busey Bank have announced their new Reading Program for the 2018 Frontier League season.
The CornBelters and Busey Bank will be partnering with a wide range of Central Illinois' schools, libraries, after-school and extended learning programs to promote reading among students.
The Reading Program will be catered to each organization individually to support their ongoing reading program(s) by providing rewards for the student, ages Pre-K through 8th grade, or will provide a basic outline for a program they are welcome to adjust to fit their students' goals.
Following two Baseball in Education Days on May 8th and 9th, the CornBelters will return to The Corn Crib for their 2018 CEFCU Opening Night on Friday, May 11th with a 7:05 p.m. first pitch against the Traverse City Beach Bums featuring a postgame firework show.
Upon completion of the program, each participant will receive a Certificate of Completion and a voucher that can be redeemed at the MICU Box Office for their Reading Program Kids' Ticket Pack.
The Reading Program Kid's Ticket Pack includes:
- One (1) kid's Reserved Box Seat for Opening Night on Friday, May 11th
- Four (4) additional vouchers for kid's Reserved Box Seats
The four (4) ticket vouchers may be redeemed at any of the CornBelter's nine (9) Sunday home games this season. The kid's vouchers may be used by the student and their siblings under the age of 12 in any combination on Sundays (i.e., one ticket for four games, two for two games, four for one).
Each weekend homestand is capped off with a Sunday Family Funday at The Corn Crib with many fun activities for your family, including kids zone inflatables and face painting. Reading program participants will also have the opportunity to play catch on the field before the game, join Corny in a pregame parade, participate in the post-game team autograph session, and even run the bases after the game.
More information and registration materials for the 2018 Busey Bank Reading Program are available on the CornBelter's website at www.normalbaseball.com/community/readingprogram/.
