"The Crawdads appreciate the opportunity to partner with the American Cancer Society and have a night at the ballpark promoting their signature fundraising event of the year," General Manager Mark Seaman said.

We look forward to seeing a number of teams on the warning track for the pregame 'practice' walk and we are excited about the prospect of donating money back to the individual teams that participate."
