Harrisburg Senators News Release

The Harrisburg Senators had a helping hand in two more events over the weekend which raised awareness and funds for good causes. Friday night, the Senators and Ollie's Bargain Outlet donated $1,000 to the Children's Miracle Network. On Sunday, the Senators' Paint the Park Pink Day netted $2,630 for the PA Breast Cancer Coalition.

Friday's benefit for the Children's Miracle Network was sponsored by Ollie's Bargain Outlet. For each ticket purchased at the box office, $2 went to the Children's Miracle Network. A silent auction was also held, and the proceeds from the night totaled $1,000, all of which went to the Children's Miracle Network.

Sunday was Paint the Park Pink Day at Commerce Bank Park. All Senators players and coaches wore pink jerseys to call attention to breast cancer awareness. The jerseys were raffled and auctioned immediately after the game, generating $2,630 for the PA Breast Cancer Coalition.
