LAKEWOOD, NJ - The BlueClaws welcome the Phillie Phanatic to FirstEnergy Park on Thursday, June 27th, and at the game, they will hold their annual Troop Supply and Care Package Drive.

The Phanatic, the world's most famous mascot, makes the first of two trips to the ballpark this summer and between innings, he will entertain fans like only the Phanatic can. The Phanatic's appearance is presented by OceanFirst Bank.

Boxes will be set up for the Troop Supply and Care Package Drive in the front of the ballpark and fans are encouraged to donate razors, snacks, baby wipes, shampoo, soap, non-chocolate candies and sweets, sun block with SPF 40+, lip balm, writing utensils, silly string, deodorant, tissues, q-tips, white socks, batteries, insect repellent, and flashlights.

This supply and care package drive is in conjunction with the Monmouth-Ocean Central Labor Council Military Committee, Monmouth-Ocean Building Trade Council, National Guard, Toms River Armory, A.R.M.S, and IBEW Local 400 Military Committee.

"Military Appreciation Night here in Lakewood has been a great event these last eight years," said Pat O'Keefe of the IBEW Local 400 Military Committee. "It's great to see the local community come out and support the event and our Troops overseas."

The Troop Supply and Care Package Drive takes place on Military Appreciation Night, where military groups will take in the game and there will be various pre-game ceremonies honoring military members.
