Dukes, Sponsors Team-Up to Strike Out CancerMichael Radomski - July 22, 2008
PITTSFIELD - The Pittsfield Dukes, Sim's Barber Shop, and The Lester Project will sponsor a "Strike Out Cancer night" at Wahconah Park on Sunday, July 27, when the Dukes host the Vermont Mountaineers.
The gates at Wahconah Park will open at four o'clock and the game will begin at five as two of the top teams in the NECBL meet on the final weekend home game for Pittsfield.
There will be a silent auction with items being awarded to the top bidders, as well as Lester Project bracelets, and Sim's barbershop haircuts as well.
The silent auction is set with a multitude of great items that include:
- Two tickets nine rows behind Red Sox on-deck circle for Wednesday Sept 24 vs. Cleveland.
- Dinner for two at Mazzeo's Ristorante
- Five fun day passes at Jiminy Peak Resort
- Weekend stay for two at Eastover Resort for Girls Weekend
- 2008 Team USA autographed ball
- 2007 Team USA autographed bat (including #2 overall pick in Major League Draft Pedro Alvarez)
- 2007 Team USA autographed ball
- One week baseball camp at Dan Duquette Sports Academy from August 10 to 15 ($500.00 value)
- Pittsfield Dukes autographed bat/ball combo
- North Adams SteepleCats autographed bat/ball combo
The Lester Project Bracelets will also be available for sale at the Dukes' game as well. The Lester project was starter in October of 2006, shortly after Red Sox pitcher Jon Lester was diagnosed with Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma. The group has been televised on NESN, CBS, and NECN, and they have raised over sixty thousand dollars for the Jimmy Fund through bracelet sales. Casey Lennon, who has been a Pittsfield Dukes employee for four years, is a co-founder of The Lester Project.
Sim's Barber Shop has also donated their time and services for the event. Sim's will be offering buzz cuts during the game for a suggested minimum donation of $5.00.
All proceeds from the silent auction, The Lester Project bracelets, and Sim's haircuts will be donated to children's cancer research.
Tickets are $8.50 for box seats, $6.00 for GA, and kids 10 and under are free with a paid adult.
The Dukes next game will be at the Danbury Westerners on Tuesday night beginning at seven o'clock. Louie Bernardini (Wheaton College) is the probable starter.
The next Dukes home game is Wednesday night when Pittsfield hosts the Manchester Silkworms in a potential playoff preview beginning at 7 p.m.
Fans can listen to the game and all Pittsfield Dukes games on the NECBL Broadcast Network by going to the site at www.teamline.cc/sportpage?teamcode=6301&eventcode=5
Tickets are still available for Dukes' games at Wahconah Park. Tickets can be purchased at the Dukes box office at 105 Wahconah Street or by calling 413-447-DUKE(3853). |
