Gates will open at 10:30 a.m. for a pre-game tailgate party at the ESL Ballpark Walk of Fame, allowing fans to kick off the day with food, music, and a high-energy atmosphere before the action begins on the field.
At 12:00 p.m., the excitement continues with a Home Run Derby featuring five Buffalo Bills players, showcasing power and personality in a unique crossover event.
The afternoon culminates at 1:00 p.m. with the first pitch of the charity softball game, featuring a competitive matchup of Bills Defense vs. Bills Offense.
"For me, this is about opportunity. We started the foundation to create real access for kids who may not always have it," stated Buffalo Bills Defensive End Greg Rousseau. "Bringing everyone together in Rochester for that purpose means a lot. It's going to be competitive, and it's going to be fun, but the bigger goal is making a lasting impact."
"We're really excited to host Greg and the Bills for what's going to be a great day at the ballpark," said DAN MASON, General Manager of the Rochester Red Wings. "It's not every day you get to see some of the best football players in the world trade in their helmets for softball bats, especially for a cause that means so much to Greg and his family. It's going to be fun, it's going to be loud, and it's all for something bigger than the game."
Additional event details and participating players to be announced at a later date.
