Bradenton Marauders News Release
Bradenton, Fla. - The Bradenton Marauders are seeking nominations of local veterans to be commemorated on the inaugural Military Heroes baseball card set. The card sets will be given away to the first 1,000 fans in attendance on Military Appreciation Night presented by Miller High Life and Goodwill Manasota. Military Appreciation night is Saturday, June 11 when the Marauders host the Tampa Yankees. Gates will open at 5:30 p.m. with first pitch scheduled for 6:30 p.m.
The card set will represent each branch of the military and honor those who are currently serving our country, veterans who have served in the past but are no longer active, and those who bravely fought for our country and have since passed away. Twenty submissions will be selected for the 2016 card set. Military heroes chosen to appear on the card set and their families will be honored on the field at the June 11 game. Each selected hero will also receive 50 of their own cards from the set.
Each card will feature a photo of the military hero, their years served, their branch and rank, and details about their service. Nominations will be accepted until Friday, April 15 at 5:00 p.m.
