The Greenville Braves will once again team up with the Huntington Learning Center to honor students from the Upstate and surrounding areas for excellence in the classroom.

For a 17th consecutive season, thousands of hard-working students in grades K-12 making good grades and achieving the A/B Honor Roll will receive complimentary tickets to designated Honor Roll Nights at G-Braves Stadium.

"This has been more than just another successful community partnership," said Greenville Braves General Manager Steve DeSalvo. "With the help of our Corporate Partner, Huntington Learning Center, this has become a motivating campaign for students to strive to excel in the classroom, and we're excited to once again be able to honor their efforts, be a part of their achievement, and make a difference."

The Greenville Braves have been an active member of the local community for almost 20 years, hosting special nights at the ballpark each season to benefit local charities and sponsoring several charity functions throughout the year. The G-Braves also offer many other successful children's programs including the Pride in Carolina's Youth Reading Program, the Gatti-Town Braves Buddies Club and more.

A member of the Southern League of Professional Baseball Clubs, the Greenville Braves are the Double A affiliate of the Atlanta Braves, and has sent more than 100 players to the major leagues. The Greenville Braves, the only franchise in minor league baseball to draw more than 200,000 fans per season for 19 consecutive years, is celebrating its 20th season in Greenville.
