Lake County Captains to Dedicate POW/MIA Seat at Classic Park on June 21
June 12, 2014 - Midwest League (MWL1)
Lake County Captains News Release
(Eastlake, OH) - The Lake County Captains, the Class A affiliate of the Cleveland Indians, will dedicate a POW/MIA seat as part of Military Night on Saturday, June 21 prior to their game against the South Bend Silver Hawks at 7 p.m.
This seat is part of the National Chair of Honor program that Rolling Thunder Inc. oversees. The Captains have partnered with the Chapter 1 Ohio group. While many members of Rolling Thunder, Inc are veterans and ride motorcycles, neither qualification is a prerequisite. Members are old and young, men and women, veterans and non-veterans.
The seat will be located at the top of section 112 and will remain perpetually empty and serve as a reminder that even though the soldiers are not at the game, there is still space for them.
As part of the evening, there will be a motorcycle procession on the field prior to the game, led by the Rolling Thunder, but open to anyone who drives a motorcycle to the game. Motorcycles will also receive complimentary parking in the Lake Health Plaza. Space is limited to the first 100 motorcycles.
Before the game, there will be a military service personnel parade on the field and a swearing-in ceremony.
A supply drive for veterans will take place where fans can bring items such as any toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, body wash, shampoo, tube socks, new hats and new t-shirts. To support the supply drive, the Cargo Hold will be running a promotion of 2 for $25 on select hats and t-shirts. Fans can purchase one for themselves and the second will be donated to the supply drive.
The first 1,500 fans in attendance will receive a miniature POW Flag courtesy of EZPOLE Flag Poles.
There will be a raffle featuring signed baseballs from Cleveland Indians players Jason Giambi, Jason Kipnis and Nick Swisher. Tickets will be 1 for $5, 3 for $10 or 6 for $25 and will be available at the Fans First Center. The raffle, along with a portion of the proceeds from the Captains 50/50, will be benefitting the Rolling Thunder Ohio Chapter One.
Tickets for Military Service members, their families and anyone who donates to the supply drive will be only $5. Military Service members may buy tickets on line using the special offer code USA.
Tickets may be purchased in-person at the Classic Park Box Office, over the phone at 440.954.WINS or online at www.CaptainsBaseball.com.
