Eugene Emeralds News Release


EUGENE, OR - The Eugene Emeralds are looking to close out their five game home stand against the Vancouver Canadians with a strong showing on and off the field. The promotions include Military Appreciation and another Good Karma Monday.

On August 7, the Emeralds hope you join them as they salute the women, and men, who risk their lives for our country with a special female edition of Military Appreciation Night! In a field dominated by men, the Ems are taking the time to give a special recognition to the women who serve from the Eugene/Springfield area. To add to the night, the Ems will be having a military jersey auction, where fans will be able to come out and bid on their chance of walking away with a jersey! Military appreciation is presented by Original Roadhouse Grill and the City of Springfield. Come out and support our veterans and enjoy America's pastime all in one night!

Our Kendall Community Spotlight for the night will be American Hero Adventures. They strive in "Providing Our Nation's Finest and Their Loved Ones with Adventures of a Lifetime." They accomplish this by providing stress free, stress relieving, and bonding activities to the combat wounded, duty-injured Hero, and their families. It is the intent of American Hero Adventures to provide wounded Heroes and their families the opportunity to experience these adventures together and create lasting memories that can be passed down through generations.

The Emeralds will be rounding out the home stand on Monday, August 8, with another Good Karma Monday, presented by Northwest Community Credit Union, over at the park! Come to the Toyota Ticket Office on game day and you get to decide the price of your ticket! Part of the proceeds goes to the March of Dimes Foundation.

380,000 babies are born too early in the United States, March of Dimes is working hard to continue to reduce this number. However, premature birth is the leading cause of newborn death. With you support, you can help fight premature birth through March of Dimes-funded research and education programs. Stop by the March of Dimes table to find out how you can help here in Lane County.
