New Hampshire Fisher Cats News Release
Manchester, NH- The New Hampshire Fisher Cats, Double-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays, and Team Emma's Enchantment are partnering for a fundraising event at Merchantsauto.com Stadium on Saturday, July 18, to support the Pan-Mass Challenge, the annual bike-a-thon that crosses the entire Commonwealth of Massachusetts, raising money for valuable cancer research at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. The event will consist of a ticket fundraiser, a bike raffle for two road bikes similar to the actual bikes that will be used in this year's PMC, a bake sale and the Fisher Cats will wear specially-designed PMC Night uniforms that will be auctioned off during the game, with proceeds benefitting Team Emma's Enchantment/PMC.
Fans wishing to support the PMC Night ticket fundraiser for that night's 7:05pm Fisher Cats/Connecticut Defenders game can have $3 of each ticket purchased go directly toward the fight against cancer by purchasing their tickets online at www.nhfishercats.com and entering the promotional code 'pmc' when making their transaction. The 'pmc' promo code can also be used for additional games, with $3 of tickets purchased through that method also going to benefit Team Emma's Enchantment/PMC.
"PMC Night is an annual event at Merchantsauto.com Stadium to celebrate those who have successfully won the fight against cancer and those who continue to battle this terrible disease," said Fisher Cats President/General Manager Rick Brenner. "We have all been affected in some way by the ill effects of cancer, so it's important to do what we can to support those who dedicate their lives to curing this disease."
"Whether it be a family member, friend, neighbor or co-worker, we have all been touched by this terrible disease which shows no discrimination," said Team Emma's Enchantment rider Tim Bechert. "On nights like this, we have been afforded the opportunity to raise awareness and needed funds to continue this fight and find a cure for cancer. We are truly grateful to the Fisher Cats organization for their continued support in this fight against cancer."
pmcjerseyFans can place their bids on the game-worn PMC Night jerseys right now by visiting www.nhfishercats.com. The high bids from the online portion of the auction, which will conclude at 2:00pm on Saturday, July 18, will become the starting bids for the silent live auction that takes place at Merchantsauto.com Stadium during that night's Fisher Cats/Defenders game.
Team Emma's Enchantment donates 100% of all monies raised to Dr. Mark Kieran, MD, PhD, who is working to solve the mystery of low-grade brain tumors at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Many of the 25 team members will be on hand at the July 18 game to help build awareness and share their stories. Fans are also invited to participate in a pre-game bike parade around the warning track.
An Atlas Fireworks Show follows the 7:05pm Fisher Cats/Defenders game on Saturday, July 18. For tickets, visit www.nhfishercats.com and enter the promo code 'pmc', or call (603) 641-2005.
