Portland Sea Dogs News Release
Portland, Maine-The Portland Sea Dogs, Double-A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox, have announced a partnership with FairPoint Communications to provide the FairPoint "Community First" Table at Hadlock Field for the 2010 season. The table will allow local non-profit organizations a space to promote their cause at Sea Dogs' home games throughout the 2010 season.
The FairPoint "Community First" Table will allow a different non-profit organization to promote themselves at each one of the Sea Dogs 71 home games in 2010. Non-profits interested in displaying information at the table and having access to the Sea Dogs fan base are asked to send the Sea Dogs a copy of their 501(c)(3) certificate and submit a "Community First" Table Request form. All forms can be found on the Sea Dogs website ( www.seadogs.com). All requests for the table will be filled though the Sea Dogs on a first come, first serve basis.
