Augusta GreenJackets News Release
AUGUSTA, GA - The Augusta GreenJackets are excited to announce today that they will be partnering with the Golden Harvest Food Bank to host the Golden Harvest Food Bank Canned Food Drive as a part of our game on Friday, August 22, 2014 at Lake Olmstead Stadium.

Golden Harvest's goal is to provide and serve quality food to people in need. Through the help of local community support they are able to serve lunch every day in downtown Augusta at the Master's Table Soup Kitchen. On August 22nd, two GreenJackets players will be at the Master's Table volunteering their time by serving food and speaking with members of the community from 11 - Noon.
"It's so encouraging to have strong community partners like the GreenJackets who are willing to cultivate our sports culture but also partner with us in taking action in feed the hungry" said Travis McNeal, Executive Director at Golden Harvest Food Bank.
Golden Harvest is doing a ticket fundraiser as part of the night to help members of the CSRA community. Fans that bring canned food items to the game will receive a raffle ticket for "Enter to Win" giveaways. Game time is slated for 7 PM as the GreenJackets face the Lexington Legends. Gates open at 6:00 PM. The first 1,000 fans will receive a Golf Umbrella courtesy of SRP Federal Credit Union. It's also Golf Night with special themes and promotions. There will also be Launch-A-Ball and post-game kids run the bases.
