February 18, 2009 - Eastern League (EL1)
Trenton Thunder News Release


As part of a first-of-its-kind promotion, the Thunder and its sister team, the Lakewood BlueClaws, have announced all children will eat for free at every 2009 home game.

Both teams have expressed a clear desire to help area families in the current economic climate. This includes directly providing unprecedented value for area residents and positively contributing to local communities in these challenging times. The program covers 141 games between the two clubs.

"We want to bring some joy back to Jersey," said Joe Finley, President of both ballclubs. "Our teams are an important part of their respective communities, and this is our way of helping everyone in both areas."

Each child, ages 12 and under, will receive a voucher upon entering the ballpark good for a free hot dog, bag of potato chips and a 12 oz. fountain soda. The value of the program to area families is unmatched in Minor League Baseball history.

The Most Flexible Ticket Plan Ever

Here's the ticket plan that will work with even the busiest schedules... the new Flex Pack.

The Flex Pack includes seven undated vouchers and an Opening Night ticket for only $77. The vouchers can be redeemed for the same game, for one seat at seven games, or in any other combination. Flexibility is what this plan is all about!
