Thunder to host "Flood Relief Day" on August 5th
July 5, 2006 - Eastern League (EL1)
Trenton Thunder News Release
(Trenton, NJ)- The Trenton Thunder, the Double-A Affiliate of the New York Yankees, have announced that the game on August 5 at 1:05 PM will be "Flood Relief Day" with $3 from each regularly priced ticket being donated to local flood relief efforts.
From July 5-August 5, the Thunder will donate $3 for all regularly priced tickets ($9) purchased for the game at 1:05 PM on Saturday, August 5 to local flood relief efforts.
The Thunder offer a FUNdraising Program to non-profit groups in which the Thunder charge a special rate of $6 per ticket to the group. The group then in turn sells the tickets for the full $9 face value with the difference going straight to the non-profit.
"We've been doing our FUNdraising Program for years and have helped hundreds of charities and non-profits," said Thunder General Manager Brad Taylor. "This is an opportunity for us to apply the same idea to a cause that will help a lot of people in our area recover from this devastating flood."
The 1:05 PM game on August 5 is a make-up from the game scheduled for Wednesday, June 7 against the Bowie Baysox that was postponed due to rain. The "Flood Relief Day" game will be the first game of the "Day- Night" split-admission doubleheader on Saturday, August 5th. The first game will start at 1:05 PM with the regularly scheduled nightcap beginning at 7:05 PM. For further information, fans should contact the Trenton Thunder Ticket Office at 609-394-3300.
The Thunder will host the Harrisburg Senators tonight with fireworks after the game thanks to the Yardley Business Association. The game on July 6 will feature a Yankee Hat giveaway to the first 1,500 fans ages 6 and over thanks to A-1 Limousine.
