BlueClaws Announce ALS Fundraiser
LAKEWOOD - The Lakewood BlueClaws, the class-A affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies, are holding their eighth annual ALS Celebrity Waiter and Auction event on May 21.
This is the first time that it is being hosted at FirstEnergy Park. Proceeds will benefit the ALS Association of Greater Philadelphia and South Jersey, the officialcharity of the Phillies. The cost of the dinner is $25 per person with tips not included. Sponsor tables of eight people are available for $250. Each sponsor will get their name on the table as well as on the centerfield scoreboard during the dinner. Proceeds, including 100 percent of the tips revenue, will go to the ALS Association. In the first seven years, this fundraiser has totaled over $60,000.
After the BlueClaws 11:05 a.m. game on May 21, the players and coaches will return to the ballpark to work for the fans as they enjoy a buffet-style dinner. A children's menu will also be available. In addition, a full-service cash bar will be available, and children will be allowed to play catch on the field with a BlueClaws player for an additional donation. Numerous BlueClaws game used items, autographed team and individual memorabilia will be up for bid during a silent auction, and members of the BlueClaws will be available to sign autographs.
Advanced reservations are required as seating availability is limited. Individuals or groups interested in making reservations for the event can call Lisa Carone, director of special events, at 732-901-7000 extension 192.
