RoughRiders launch March Gladness Clothing Drive presented by CoServ

FRISCO, Texas (March 6, 2024) - In conjunction with the RoughRiders Foundation, the Frisco RoughRiders will host the March Gladness Clothing Drive presented by CoServ at Riders Field from March 1st through March 31st with proceeds to benefit Trusted World.

There will be a blue donation bin in the lobby of the RoughRiders administrative office where you can drop off gently used clothing, especially children’s clothes, blankets, coats, sneakers, sheets/linens and comforters. We cannot accept jewelry, household items, electrical items, furniture, cribs and car seats. For office hours, click here.

"It is exciting to host March Gladness again at Riders Field for another year," RoughRiders General Manager Scott Burchett said. "CoServ and Trusted World both share the community-based ideals of the RoughRiders, and we are honored to support such phenomenal organizations."

Trusted World was founded in 2014 by Michael Garrett. Ever since, they have been providing nearly all of North Texas by distributing clothing, food, and more to nonprofit organizations, schools, and police departments.

"Trusted World is excited to start our partnership with the Frisco RoughRiders and continue to make an impact together," said Trusted World Volunteer Coordinator Courtney Weaver. "The Frisco RoughRiders community and family-oriented atmosphere is the exact thing we stand behind. With over 830 partners across North Texas, the generous donations of the RoughRiders fan base and organization during “March Gladness” will surely translate into smiles throughout our community. We couldn’t have asked for a better organization to work with!”

Season and single-game tickets for the 2024 season are already on sale. For tickets and more information about the Frisco RoughRiders, visit RidersBaseball.com or call 972.731.9200.

About the RoughRiders

The Frisco RoughRiders are the Double-A affiliate of the 2023 World Series champion Texas Rangers and the 2022 Texas League champions. In 2023, the team celebrated its 20th anniversary and has consistently finished in the top five among all Double-A franchises in attendance yearly. In August 2014, the RoughRiders were purchased by an ownership group led by Chuck Greenberg. Since then, the new ownership group, together with the City of Frisco, has spearheaded numerous major franchise enhancements, investing over $8 million in a wide array of facility upgrades and improvements, including a state-of-the-art HD video board, sound system, Bull Moose Saloon, Bullpen Bar, Riders Outpost Team Store and the world's largest water feature in a sports facility, the massive Lazy River. These enhancements earned the Riders and the City of Frisco Ballpark Digest's prestigious "Best Ballpark Renovation" award for two consecutive years (2015 and 2016). More than 190 former RoughRiders players have gone on to play Major League Baseball including current Rangers Josh Jung, Evan Carter and Leody Taveras.
