Wood Ducks to Wear Patriotic Caps July 4th Week with Proceeds Benefitting Military and Veterans
July 2, 2019 - Carolina League (CarL1)
Down East Wood Ducks News Release
Kinston, N.C. - The Down East Wood Ducks will join teams across Minor League Baseball to take the field in specialty caps to celebrate the Independence Day weekend, July 3-7.
The 2019 commemorative Fourth of July caps feature a stars and stripes design emblazoned within each team's logo outlined with a gold border, while the sides feature the respective league logo and the New Era logo. The cap's navy crown is accented with both a red brim and a red button. Minor League Baseball will donate a portion of the proceeds from cap sales to the MiLB Charities Stars & Stripes Fund, created in 2018. Through the Charles K. Murphy Patriot Award, the monies raised through what was formerly known as the Stars & Stripes Cap Program will be donated to local military and veterans' organizations in Minor League Baseball markets. Over the last decade, MiLB Charities has raised more than $260,000 through this program.
To purchase your Wood Ducks Independence Day cap (photo attached), visit our online team store or stop into our team store at Grainger Stadium, open 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday through Friday, and when gates open for weekend home games. The team will be closed July 4-5.
The Wood Ducks host the Winston-Salem Dash July 3rd at 7 p.m., followed by the largest fireworks display of the season, presented by WNCT and Spirit AeroSystems. Tickets are still available but are going fast. To purchase your seats today visit woodducksbaseball.com or call (252) 686-5172.
