Kalamazoo Growlers News Release


[KALAMAZOO, MI] - The Kalamazoo Growlers are thrilled to announce that the Lawrence Public Schools 4th & 5th & 6th grade class has been selected as the recipient of a free experience at the highly anticipated Education Day game (first of two) featuring the STEM Expo on Wednesday, May 28th.

This incredible opportunity, generously sponsored by local medical technology company, Stryker, includes complimentary admission to the game and the pre-game STEM Expo, as well as lunch for all participating students from Lawrence Public Schools.

The response to the Education Day game was overwhelming - with over 25,000 students from schools across the greater Kalamazoo region eligible to win this special experience.

Recognizing the immense interest and the desire to make this event accessible to more students, the Kalamazoo Growlers reached out to the local business community - and they answered the call.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of several area businesses, an additional 1,000 students will now be able to attend the Education Day game and pre-game STEM Expo for free, and will also receive lunch. The Kalamazoo Growlers would like to express their deepest gratitude to the following businesses for their vital support:

"We were absolutely blown away by the enthusiasm for our Education Day game and the STEM Expo. There was a want and need from schools that wanted to send their students but due to financial restraints, many schools couldn't afford it," said Growlers VP Tickets & Experience Aaron Guerrero. "Over the course of a week, I learned that so many local businesses want to help us complete our mission of 'Where Fun Makes a Difference' and donate to surprise over 1,000 students by inviting them out to this remote educational experience."

The Growlers first home game is on Wednesday, May 28 against the Lakeshore Chinooks. The full schedule can be found at growlersbaseball.com. There will be six games on Saturday nights, five on Friday nights and 18 entertainment-industry leading theme nights for the greater Kalamazoo area fans to enjoy.
