Tampa Tarpons News Release
TAMPA, Fla. and KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - July 19, 2018 - The Tampa Tarpons and BUSH'S® Beans are working with [Feeding America] to "Team Up Against Hunger." In its second year, this program encourages fans to bring non-perishable food donations to George M. Steinbrenner Field. In turn, fans will receive a free upper reserved ticket to any remaining home game in the month of July for helping to feed the local community through Feeding America. 90 Minor League Baseball(MiLB) clubs across the country will "Team Up Against Hunger" throughout the month of July. The month is significant as it marks the middle of summer break and a crucial time when millions of children are not receiving free or reduced-price meals at their schools as they do when school is in session.
"We are honored to partner with BUSH'S Beans and Feeding America to bring the issue of hunger to light using our MiLB platform," said Tampa Tarpons general manager Matt Gess. "This is one great way to bring the community together to show that we are united in the fight against hunger in our hometown."
"As a family-owned food company, it is important to everyone at BUSH'S to help hungry families," said Mike Morris, consumer experience manager at Bush Brothers & Co. "Working with Minor League Baseball and communities nationwide helps bring attention and action to a very important topic - beating hunger."
