SALISBURY, Md. -- The Delmarva Shorebirds are proud to announce the results from PRMC Pink Pitch Night to benefit the Richard A. Henson Cancer Institute, as the team presented a check for $4,396.85 on Tuesday.

"Our organization is always happy to help an integral part of the community such as the Richard A. Henson Cancer Institute," Shorebirds general manager Chris Bitters said. "We're very satisfied in how our fans answered the call and showed their support with donations."

The 2015 PRMC Pink Pitch Night was held on May 9 at Arthur W. Perdue Stadium when the Delmarva Shorebirds faced off against the Augusta GreenJackets. Some of the special events held that night included cancer survivors taking the field with Shorebirds players prior to the game and stadium staff wearing special t-shirts to raise awareness

Shorebirds players and coaches also wore special pink jerseys that were auctioned off during the game, with the funds raised being presented to the Richard A. Henson Cancer Institute.

Delmarva has a number of special jersey nights to benefit charity remaining this season including patriotic jerseys to benefit the VFW Wounded Warriror Project on July 3 and a Christmas In July jersey night on July 18 to support the Shorebirds Community Fund.
