Wilmington, DE - The Wilmington Blue Rocks will hold their 7th Annual Breast Cancer Awareness theme night on Thursday, July 12 as they take on the Potomac Nationals. The game, which begins at 7:05 pm, will be held at the Daniel S. Frawley Stadium on the Wilmington Riverfront. The Wilmington Blue Rocks and the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition (DBCC) partner on this event to raise awareness of the disease and also raise some funds for DBCC's local programs and services.

"We are proud to partner with the Delaware Brest Cancer Coalition on what has become an annual event. Any money or awareness we are able to generate will go a long way in hopefully defeating this brutal disease," said Blue Rocks general manager Chris Kemple. "I anxiously await the day where we no longer have to do this event. But until that day, we are proud to associate ourselves with the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition."

"The partnership with the Wilmington Blue Rocks allows the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition to further educate the community about breast health and breast cancer and also raise money for our programs and services. We are proud to partner with our local baseball team who are committed to making a difference in their community," said DBCC executive director Vicky Cooke.

During the game, there will also be special Blue Rocks Pink Jersey auction to benefit DBCC. Attendees are encouraged to wear pink to the game. Tickets can be purchased for $9 at www.debreastcancer.org. A portion of proceeds from tickets sales which mention DBCC will benefit the organization.
