LAKEWOOD, NJ - The BlueClaws and the American Cancer Society partnered on a successful Breast Cancer Awareness Night on Thursday at FirstEnergy Park. The event raised money through jersey and hat sales and included special ceremonies honoring survivors. 
BlueClaws players and coaches wore special pink jerseys and caps that were auctioned off to benefit the American Cancer Society, netting almost $4,000. 
There are a limited number of fitted hats and adjustable hats that are still available in the Claws Cove. All proceeds from these caps will benefit the American Cancer Society. These hats can be purchased online (fitted, adjustable).

"The American Cancer Society was thrilled to partner with the BlueClaws in helping to raise both money and awareness at the game on Thursday," said Jennifer Lefthand, Senior Manager of Community Development for the American Cancer Society. "It was a special night, attended by many cancer survivors and we look forward to more events like this in the future."

Additionally, the BlueClaws honored several breast cancer survivors on the field before the game. These honorees were selected from a group of nominees submitted over the previous weeks through BlueClaws.com. 

The crowd of 7,986 was the team's third largest of the season and marked the 18th sell-out crowd of 2019. 
The BlueClaws won the game 3-2 on a two-run walk-off home run by Ben Pelletier in the bottom of the ninth inning.
