Delmarva Shorebirds News Release
SALISBURY, Md. - The Delmarva Shorebirds are happy to partner with McDonald's® Restaurants of Eastern Shore through the Shorebirds Summer Reading Program in 2018.
The Shorebirds Summer Reading Program provides incentives for over 10,000 children to participate in their local libraries' summer reading programs. This summer, the Shorebirds and McDonald's are partnering with over 25 public libraries by offering complimentary tickets and other offers that can be used as rewards or incentives with their existing Summer Reading Programs.
The Shorebirds will be making several trips to libraries on the Eastern Shore where Shorebirds players and/or Sherman will read to kids and talk to them about the importance of reading.
Youth that reach their reading incentives in Delaware and Virginia will be invited out to the Shorebirds game on Sunday, August 5th against the Charleston RiverDogs while participating youth in Maryland will be invited to the Shorebirds game against the Rome Braves on Sunday, August 19th.
"We know learning never stops, and providing kids an incentive to read more over the summer break will better prepare students for classes in the fall," local McDonald's owner/operator Tiffany Beach said. "The Shorebirds Summer Reading Program is an exciting way to encourage continuous learning and reward kids for their efforts. We are so happy to be a part of the program in 2018."
"The Shorebirds are excited to partner with McDonald's through our Summer Reading Program. We really believe that with the incentives that are provided by the Shorebirds and McDonald's, along with visits from Shorebirds players and Sherman, that the children will not only realize that reading is important but also have fun in doing so," said Chris Bitters, General Manager.
