Hickory Crawdads News Release
HICKORY, NC - The Hickory Crawdads, South Atlantic League affiliate of the Texas Rangers, have partnered with Minor League Baseball Charities and 45 other clubs in a "15 for 15" initiative to raise funds to help at least three Minor League Baseball communities that were recently affected by storms, tornadoes and flooding in the Southeastern United States.
Beginning today, and running for the next 15 days through May 30, the 'Dads and other participating clubs have agreed to donate 15% of every order received through their online stores to MiLB Charities to use towards disaster relief efforts.
"The Crawdads are proud to be a part of this baseball-wide team effort to help raise funds for those affected by the disastrous storms in the southeast," said Crawdads Director of Ticket Operations and Merchandising Douglas Locascio. "It's a great way for our fans to contribute to the cause, while also getting some cool gear and showing their Crawdads pride!"
