In conjunction with MUSC Health, the RiverDogs will help youth organizations around the Lowcountry attend the game with complimentary tickets to honor Doby's memory.

It's also an MUSC Health Family Sunday in the Holy City presented by CCPRC, Y102.5 and Lowcountry CW, where members of the MUSC Children's Health Kids Club get in free, while all kids play pre-game catch on the field and eat free before running the bases postgame.
