Hispanic Heritage Celebration highlights next homestand

May 14, 2018

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

The Lehigh Valley IronPigs return to Coca-Cola Park for a four-game homestand May 21-24 against the Rochester Red Wings. Fans should look forward to the two-night Hispanic Heritage Celebration presented by La Mega Radio that includes both a jersey auction and cap raffle featuring our “Tocino” logo.

We are kicking off Wednesday’s theme night with a team photo and autograph session presented by People First Federal Credit Union. Guests will have the opportunity to take photos with and get autographs from players from 5:30-6:15 p.m. before the first pitch at 7:05 p.m.

In addition, the jersey auction and cap raffle presented by Tito’s Handmade Vodka will take place over the two-night event. The winners will be announced following the game on May 24. The jersey, which has a white base with blue sleeves and red accents, features the word “Tocino” in bacon-filled letters across the chest. The numbers on the back feature the same bacon pattern and a blue outline. The cap includes the same “Tocino” script and features alternating white and red panels with a blue bill. Proceeds from the jersey auction will benefit the Fe Foundation and their ‘Futuros Empresarios’ (Future Entrepreneurs) Program.

The celebration will be complete with Hispanic music, entertainment, and food choices.
