Salem-Keizer Volcanoes News Release
KEIZER - The Salem-Keizer Volcanoes are pleased to announce the return of Kids Nights at Volcanoes Stadium for the 2016 season, one of the most popular promotional nights the club has to offer. Kids Night will be featured on select Monday home games, including June 27, July 18, July 25, August 8 and a Labor Day game on September 5. All Monday home games begin at 6:35 p.m.
The program, originally titled Jerry's Kids, was launched by Volcanoes owner and President, Jerry Walker in 2008, and has grown significantly since its inception. Children ages 12 & under can receive a free general admission ticket to a Salem-Keizer Volcanoes game this summer. "This has always been one of my favorite promotions," said Walker. "The kids are so great with their requests and many share heart-warming stories and memories of times they've had in the past at the Stadium. I'm very happy we were able to offer this great program again."
It's an especially great offer to bring out your entire youth sports team and they can all receive free admission. In addition, there are opportunities available for youth sports teams to participate in on-field activities including taking the field with the team. For information on these first come, first served opportunities, contact the Volcanoes Director of Community Outreach, Jerry Howard, at j.howard@volcanoesbaseball.com.
The process for getting free admission is simple. Send an email to Volcanoes owner, Jerry Walker, requesting a Kids Night voucher at jwalker@volcanoesbaseball.com. In return, you will receive a ticket voucher, which you can print at home. When you arrive at the ballpark, on one of the Volcanoes' five Kids Nights, present your voucher at the ticket window in exchange for a general admission ticket or upgrade to a reserved seat for just $2.00!
