The Portland Sea Dogs have announced that they will once again hold their annual food drive. This marks the tenth year of the event. The food drive will begin on Monday, January 4th and will run through Friday, January 29th. All the collected food items will be donated to the Good Shepherd Food Bank.
As in the past, the formula for this years food drive will be “Buy One, Bring One, Get One.” For every ticket purchased and every donated food item you bring, you will receive a free Sea Dogs ticket to the same game. For example, if you buy three tickets to the June 6th game and bring in three food items, you will receive three additional complimentary tickets of equal or lesser value to the June 6th game. The offer is good on all types of seating, Box, Reserved, & General Admission; subject to availability.
Fans may take advantage of this offer by bringing their non-perishable food items to the Hadlock Field Box Office. The Sea Dogs Ticket Office is open Monday through Friday 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
In relation, the Sea Dogs team store fundraising program will donate 10% of weekly sales back to local non-profit organizations.
The first five weeks in 2010 will be non-profit weeks at the Sea Dogs Souvenir Store located at Hadlock Field. Each non-profit organization has been assigned a week, the Sea Dogs will donate 10% of the weeks’ souvenir store sales back to the non-profit organization.
