Shorebirds Present Donation To Richard A. Henson Cancer Institute

July 26, 2017

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

SALISBURY, Md. — The Delmarva Shorebirds are proud to announce the results from the 2017 PRMC Pink Pitch Night to benefit the Richard A. Henson Cancer Institute, as the team presented a check for $2,270.61.

“Our organization is always happy to help a very important part of the community such as the Richard A. Henson Cancer Institute,” Shorebirds general manager Chris Bitters said. “Thank you to our fans who answered the call and showed their support with donations.”

The 2017 PRMC Pink Pitch Night was held on Saturday, May 13th at Arthur W. Perdue Stadium when the Delmarva Shorebirds faced the Greenville Drive. Shorebirds players and coaches wore special pink jerseys that were auctioned off during the game, with the funds raised being presented to the Richard A. Henson Cancer Institute at the Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury.

Delmarva has more special jersey nights scheduled in 2017, including a Christmas in July jersey night on Saturday, July 29, a Maryland Pride Thursday jersey auction on August 24, and an Orange Friday jersey auction on September 1. All three auctions will benefit the Shorebirds’ Fly Together Fund.
