The Lehigh Valley IronPigs are asking fans for their support of a fellow Phillies affiliate, the Lakewood BlueClaws, in an effort to assist in the relief efforts for those impacted in the Lakewood community by the devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy.

“Our entire organization has been deeply saddened by Hurricane Sandy’s devastation throughout the region, including in Lakewood, New Jersey, where the community of a fellow Phillies affiliate has been deeply affected,” said IronPigs General Manager Kurt Landes. “We ask our fans to assist our efforts in any way possible during our week-long drive to support the Lakewood community.”
