Springfield, MA - Today the Springfield Falcons, in partnership with the Springfield Museums and Dr. Seuss Enterprises, announced Dr. Seuss Night to be held on Saturday, March 12 against the Portland Pirates at 7:00 p.m. Dr. Seuss Night and the game will be sponsored by Berkshire Bank.
For the first time ever, Dr. Seuss Enterprises has partnered with the Falcons and the Springfield Museums in presenting this special night to honor Theodor Geisel, a.k.a. Dr. Seuss, who was born and raised in Springfield. The Springfield Museums are preparing to open The Amazing World of Dr. Seuss Museum in 2016, an exhibit featuring interactive activities for children and a one-of-a-kind experience that will provide a look at the man behind the drawing board.
"We are excited to partner with the Springfield Museums and Dr. Seuss Enterprises in presenting this special night to honor one of Springfield's most famous native sons," Falcons President Sarah Pompea commented. "We have been anticipating this night since the summer months and are excited to aid the launching of the new Museum in support of a unique family entertainment night around a favorite children's author."
The night will include special appearances by The Cat in the Hat and Thing 1 and Thing 2 costumed characters. In addition, specialty jerseys will be worn by the Falcons players and auctioned off with the proceeds donated to the Springfield Museums to help support the creation of the new museum.
"We are thrilled that the Falcons are stepping up in support of our fundraising campaign," said Kay Simpson, President of the Springfield Museums. "It's wonderful to have the support of one our best downtown neighbors," she added.
