August 1, 2012

Bisons encourage school donations at August 3 fridaynightbash!

The Buffalo Bisons announced that they will be partnering with Anthony Baldi & Associates to encourage fans “2 PACK A BACKPACK” to benefit the Boys & Girls Club of Buffalo during the team’s “Zombie Night fridaynightbash!®” against the Syracuse Chiefs on Friday, August 3 at Coca-Cola Field (7:05 p.m.).

All fans that donate a backpack and/or other school supplies prior to the Bisons game on August 3 will Receive a Buy-One, Get-One Ticket Voucher that can be used at any remaining 2012 Bisons game. That includes any of the team’s remaining fridaynightbash!® games of the season: August 10, August 17 and August 24.

In addition to backpacks, fans can also donate notebooks, pens, pencils, folders, calculators, erasers, glue, scissors, and numerous other school supplies. There will be several collection areas throughout the stadium.

For more information, fans can visit Bisons.com or call the team at (716) 846-2211.

Zombie Night
The Bisons are holding “Zombie Night,” presented by Terror Technologies on August 3 in an attempt to set the Guinness Book of World Records for the most zombies in one place. Fans are encouraged to wear costumes to the game or take advantage of several make-up stations throughout the concourse. As customary with every fridaynightbash!® in 2012, Friday’s game will also include a pre-game  “Bisons Happy Hour” (5:00 p.m. – 6:30 p.m.) with 14 oz Flying Bison craft beers for only $2 as well as post game fireworks.

Boys & Girls Clubs of Buffalo
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Buffalo serves over 8,000 youths in Western New York every year. The “2 Pack a Backpack” initiative provides local children with school supplies that they could not normally afford. The supplies will make a great difference for thousands of children just in time for the new school year.  Anthony Baldi & Associates, a financial advisory practice of Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc., is partnering with the Bisons yet again to promote this worthy cause.

Welcome to clubphilanthropy.com!

Minor League Baseball clubs have been actively involved in their communities for many years. For the first time, their activities and contributions will be chronicled on this site.

Clubs don’t publicize all of their activity, so these stories represent a mere fraction of the contributions MiLB clubs make to their communities every year.
