CLEARWATER, Fla. - Join the Clearwater Threshers for the 13th annual Pitch for Pink event on Friday, July 20, at Spectrum Field. The breast cancer awareness event and fundraiser has generated more than $273,000 for the Morton Plant Mease Foundation. Stay after the game for a spectacular fireworks show, presented by Banquet Masters.

Gates open at 5:30 p.m. for the 6:15 p.m. game with the Florida Fire Frogs. The first 1,000 fans to arrive will receive a pink ladies wallet giveaway from Banquet Masters. Pregame honoring of those who have battled breast cancer includes a Survivor's Walk around the field, always a touching moment to recognize those affected by the terrible disease.

"Pitch for Pink is a great opportunity to raise money for breast cancer research, treatment, and survivor's resources," said Threshers Community Engagement & Media Manager Robert Stretch. "It is also a chance for the Clearwater community to come together for a night of awareness, remembrance, and celebration. We are proud to partner with the Morton Plant Mease Foundation."

A major part of the evening's fundraising efforts is the silent auction, featuring Phillies and Threshers memorabilia plus gift packages donated by area businesses. Don't miss the authentic pink autographed bat and other one-of-a-kind items. The balloon raffle is always a big hit, with donated goods and services from local partners.

Also included in the auction are the special pink jerseys being worn by the Threshers players on-field during the game. Winners of the jerseys may head down to the field after the game to receive their autographed jersey personally from the player.

The night is capped by an amazing post-game fireworks show, presented by Banquet Masters.

Tickets for Pitch for Pink are $6-$10 and group packages are available. Information and tickets are available at ThreshersBaseball.com and the Spectrum Field box office, 727-467-4457.
