Suns Going Green in 2015

The Hagerstown Suns announced today a partnership with Waste Management for the 2015 season that will include new recycling containers throughout Municipal Stadium. This new recycling option for fans is one of a number of ways the Suns will be going green in 2015.

The new recycling containers are green with yellow lids and will be placed conveniently throughout Municipal Stadium. In addition, one inning each game will be the Waste Management Recycle Inning, when Suns staff members will walk around the seating areas to collect items that can be recycled from fans. These items include plastic drink bottles and plastic drink cups, aluminum cans, paper and newspaper, foil food wrappers, and paperboard and cardboard packaging.

Other initiatives the Suns are taking to go green in 2015 include stocking the stadium with paper towels, napkins, and toilet paper made from recycled material, as well as using biodegradable cleaners. “Our hope is that these green initiatives will encourage our fans to be similarly environmentally conscious when they leave the stadium and return home,” explains Suns GM Chris Easom.

Nick Adenhart Night raises more than $6,000

The Hagerstown Suns are pleased to announce that more than $6,000 was raised on Nick Adenhart Night at Municipal Stadium Tuesday. These proceeds from the silent auction and a portion of ticket sales will be donated to the Nick Adenhart Memorial Fund.

Adenhart grew up in the Hagerstown community and was a well-known athlete throughout the region before he reached the national stage with the Angels. In 2009, he was killed in an automobile accident. After his passing, a community foundation that provides funds for youth baseball organizations was established in his memory.

The Nick Adenhart Memorial Fund provides financial support to nonprofit youth baseball organizations that support the growth of the individual, the value of teamwork and the advancement of the game in their community.
