Danville Otterbots News Release
DANVILLE, VA - Fans attending the D-Braves July 3rd game Thursday will see the Braves wearing specially-designed "Stars & Stripes" caps against the Burlington Royals to honor America and help raise money for an important cause.
As part of fundraising and awareness initiatives for Welcome Back Veterans, the D-Braves will be a part of a group of 112 other teams in Minor League Baseball wearing the specialty Independence Day caps from New Era Cap Company. Welcome Back Veterans is an organization dedicated to addressing the ongoing needs of military personnel and their families.
The "Stars and Stripes" caps feature the American flag within a star serving as a backdrop to a white D-Braves logo. The crown of the hat is a navy blue, hat's rim is red. A very limited supply will be available for purchase at American Legion Post 325 Field for $25.
Minor League Baseball, in conjunction with its licensing partner Major League Baseball Properties, will once again donate 100 percent of the proceeds from cap sales to Welcome Back Veterans as part of its contribution to the program. Since the program's inception in 2010, MiLB has contributed annually to the veterans' organization."As Minor League Baseball fans gather this Fourth of July weekend to celebrate America's birthday, we will also take time to honor and thank all the members of our armed forces for their service to our country," said Minor League Baseball President & CEO Pat O'Conner. "The Stars & Stripes cap program is one way we are showing our commitment to our military and an organization whose mission is to provide treatment to our veterans and their families. It's a small token of appreciation for the sacrifices they make every day."
