Volcanoes’ Cancer Awareness Tradition to Continue

Here is a link to the original story on the team's website.

Event to include Fans, Fan Cutouts, Survivors and Fireworks; Volcanoes to take the field for first and only time in 2020!

KEIZER, Oregon — The Salem-Keizer Volcanoes’ Cancer Awareness tradition of honoring survivors will continue with a celebration and baseball game planned for Thursday, Oct. 1, 2020, at Volcanoes Stadium.

“While things will look different than prior years, we felt it was especially important for the event to survive the pandemic and provide something for survivors to look forward to,” said Lisa Walker, co-owner of the Volcanoes. “We’ve been doing this for nearly 20 years. It is one of our marquee events and something the Volcanoes have become known for and thanks to Dr. Bud Pierce of Oregon Oncology, co-founder of the event, the tradition will continue this year. It’s also a perfect way to kick off Breast Cancer Awareness Month.”

Thanks to collaboration with Derek Legg, Head Coach for Corban University, the Volcanoes will field a team for the first and only time in 2020 and play a game versus the Corban University Warriors at Volcanoes Stadium. Game time will be 6:35 p.m.

Cancer Survivors may e-mail volcanoes@volcanoesbaseball.com and request FREE tickets to the game, compliments of Dr. Pierce. Capacity will be limited to 250 people per Covid-19 protocols and to allow for 6’ social distancing.

“We have over 4,000 seats, so this is a perfect venue for social distancing and provides a safe environment,” said Walker.

The balance of the stadium will not be empty as fans, for just $30 each, will have the opportunity to have a cardboard cutout image of themselves, or order a cutout to honor a cancer survivor whom was unable to attend, or have a cutout in memory of a loved one placed in a seat at the stadium. The cutout(s) will be available for fans to pick up as a keepsake following the event! Fans should e-mail volcanoes@volcanoesbaseball.com for complete details on how to submit their photos. Deadline for submission is Tuesday, Sept. 15, 2020.

The Volcanoes will also be providing a gift to all cancer survivors who attend the game and the evening will conclude with a spectacular fireworks show.

Salem-Keizer Volcanoes to provide final opportunity for high school seniors to PLAY BALL

Here is a link to the original story on the team's website.

 

KEIZER, OR. — 108 High School seniors, representing 48 different schools from across the State of Oregon, will be converging on Volcanoes Stadium the weekend of July 31, August 1, and August 2 – to play baseball!

“One of the most cherished events in High School baseball is Senior Day at the field. It’s usually the last home game of the season and provides a final recognition for the Senior players and their parents who have supported their efforts for so many years,” said Mickey Walker, CEO for the Volcanoes. “Covid-19 destroyed this emotional opportunity, along with all High School games, this year. We wanted to do something for the Seniors and providing them an opportunity to take the field again seemed to be the Perfect scenario,” concluded Walker.

“We feel a special attachment to High School players as we have hosted the OSAA State Baseball Championships, Spring Break Baseball Tournaments and Futures Game for many years at Volcanoes Stadium,” said Jerry Howard, the Senior Market Representative for the Volcanoes. “This is an opportunity to bid them farewell in an appropriate manner.”

Volcanoes Celebrate Cancer Awareness Weekend

Here is a link to the original story on the team's website.

KEIZER, Ore. – The Salem-Keizer Volcanoes kick started the team’s 16th annual Cancer Awareness Weekend on August 4 when they continued their four-game series against the Everett AquaSox at 6:35 p.m. at Volcanoes Stadium.

The Volcanoes held a pregame ceremony where several cancer survivors met the Volcanoes starters along the first base line and formed a semi-circle behind the pitcher’s mound.

Once everyone gathered around the bump, Dr. Bud Pierce of Hematology Oncology of Salem spoke on the field about the evening’s festivities and the state of cancer research.

On Thursday, Pierce, a founder of Cancer Awareness Weekend, said the partnership with the Volcanoes to establish the event has been quite beneficial for the Salem-Keizer community.

“Lisa [Walker] was a patient of ours and was the driver for this idea, and I thought it was a great idea so we partnered. … We together have created a special event for the Volcanoes, our community and our patients with their families,” Pierce said.

The Volcanoes will continue to celebrate and honor cancer survivors as well as those lives that were lost to the disease when the Volcanoes play the AquaSox this evening at 6:35 p.m. and tomorrow evening at 5:05 p.m.

At the conclusion of the fifth inning, everyone in attendance will to hold up “We Remember” cards, if they so choose, with a name or names of someone or multiple individuals who have been touched by cancer written on them.

Pierce said the goal of this weekend is to unite the community and celebrate life.

“It’s really about coming together and spending time together. Cancer is a fearsome disease in our time … and somehow stepping away from that intensity and coming together around the great American pastime just not only makes it more bearable, [but it also] makes life better.”

Missing Children Featured on Volcanoes Stadium Signs Found

Here is a link to the original story on the team's website.

KEIZER, Ore — The Salem-Keizer Volcanoes, Short Season-A Affiliate of the San Francisco Giants, are excited to announce that all four children featured on the Missing Children Signs displayed at Volcanoes Stadium this past summer have been safely located and found.

In partnering with the BairFind Foundation, the Volcanoes featured Miranda Acosta, Lillian Lange, Valerie Miller, and Nakira Scott throughout Volcanoes Stadium during the 2016 season on BairFoundation Missing Children signs.

The BairFind Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to finding missing children confirmed in August that Miranda, Lillian, and Valerie had been located and just recently that Nakira had been found on November 21 in Portland, Oregon.

The Foundation would like to point out that the number one proven method to finding missing children is to have as many eyes as possible looking. If you or someone you know has any information on the whereabouts of a missing child, please call 1-800-THE-LOST.

The Volcanoes plan to continue their very successful partnership with the BairFoundation in 2017. “Whatever role we can play in helping reunite children with the families is very important to us,” said Volcanoes’ President of Business Operations Luke Emanuel. “We’re delighted with the success and look forward to providing assistance, as needed, in the future.”

Volcanoes Named 50th Anniversary Vietnam War Commemorative Partner

Franchise tapped by United States Office of the Secretary of Defense for July 4th, 2014 Game

Salem-KeizerVolcanoes_2013-10-11

 

KEIZER, Or. – The Salem-Keizer Volcanoes are proud to announce its acceptance as a Commemorative Partner of the 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War. The Volcanoes’ 7th Annual Patriotic celebration is headlined on Friday, July 4, 2014 with Vietnam Veterans Night at Volcanoes Stadium.

The Salem-Keizer Volcanoes’ initial patriotic celebration was on July 4, 2008, and has since grown into a three-day annual event celebrating the many cross-sections of our military heroes, and has boomed with success. During these tributes, the Volcanoes have Thanked, Honored, and Saluted more than 300 military men and woman spanning from World War II to the Middle East conflicts. Great anticipation surrounds the next chapter of the Tribute spanning the Independence Day weekend of Friday, July 4th to Sunday, July 6th.

In 2013, Volcanoes Stadium hosted a special ceremony for “Fallen Navy SEAL” Tyrone Woods of Oregon City, who was killed in combat defending America’s diplomatic outpost in Benghazi. At the time of the formal ceremony, there were 143 military personnel on the field including representatives from Washington D.C..

Jerry Howard, Volcanoes’ Senior Marketing Representative, whom organizes this yearly event, expressed his appreciation for the Volcanoes’ selection: “The Volcanoes are extremely excited with regard to being selected by The Office of the Secretary of Defense to be an official Vietnam War 50-Year Commemoration Partner” and site. We have many brave and courageous Vietnam War Veterans in Oregon and Southwest Washington who we will invite to join us on July 4th, 2014, so we may properly Thank, Honor and Salute them for their service to our country. They are truly American Heroes.”

The Volcanoes were awarded this honor as a part of the franchise’s willingness to assist and support a grateful nation in thanking and honoring our Vietnam War Veterans and their families.

In preparation for the 2014 Patriotic Tribute, the Volcanoes have selected an 18-member committee of Vietnam Veterans to plan the event at Volcanoes Stadium. If you know of any Vietnam Veterans who deserve recognition during the special celebration, nominations can be made to the committee by contacting Jerry Howard. He can be reached at Volcanoes Stadium at 503-779-4088 or via email at j.howard@volcanoesbaseball.com.
