FREDERICK, MD-The Frederick Keys are excited to announce that Cal Ripken Jr. will visit Nymeo Field on Monday, April 29 when the Keys take on the Wilmington Blue Rocks at 7:00 p.m. Ripken will be receiving a check from the Plamondon Companies/Roy Rogers during a pre-game ceremony on behalf of the Cal Ripken Sr. Foundation. This presentation is slated to begin at 6:45 p.m.
All fans entering the gates BEFORE the end of the first inning will receive a raffle ticket which will be entered into a drawing for a chance to briefly meet Ripken at the game that night in a private setting. The drawing is scheduled to take place in the bottom of the second.

Fans dining at Roy Rogers between now and Monday's game will receive a bag stuffer with an offer for buy one, get one free tickets to Monday's game. This collateral from Roy Rogers must be presented at the box office to receive the deal.
Fans can also bid on eight Cal Ripken Jr. signed baseballs and eight signed bats through the LiveSource app. Proceeds from this silent auction as well as money raised from the Keys Wheel of Fun supports the Ripken Foundation.
"We are honored to host Cal on Monday night and have great respect for what the Ripken Foundation has done for youth across the country," said Keys General Manager, Dave Ziedelis. "We also appreciate our great partners at Plamondon and Roy Rogers for choosing us to host this event."

Last year, the Ripken Foundation impacted over 1.5 million kids nationwide through its Youth Development Park and mentor programs.
