Doubledays Announce Thursday Community Outreach Campaign

The Auburn Doubledays are honored to announce their community
outreach initiatives throughout the 2017 season. The Doubledays hope
these initiatives will foster a better community in both Auburn and the
surrounding areas.
Thursday nights at Falcon Park are "Hunger and Homelessness
Awareness" night. Fans are encouraged to bring nonperishable foods to
the Falcon Park box office for a dollar off their ticket. Foods such as
pasta, boxed macaroni and cheese, rice, and granola bars are much
appreciated, and will be donated to local food pantries.
Patrons are encouraged to donate twin blankets and sheets that will
benefit Chapel House of Cayuga County. "We are very grateful to the
Auburn Doubledays for helping community organizations, such as
ourselves, to provide for the individuals we serve" said Chapel House
executive director Christina Thornton. "Something as small as a blanket
or sheets can really make an impact with individuals who are trying to
get back on their feet."
The Auburn Rescue Mission will also benefit from a diaper and wipe
drive on Thursday evenings that will go to support families in need of
help with their young children. "We have not had the opportunity to
work with the Auburn Doubledays before, and we are honored to be a
part of their community outreach campaign" said Cyndi Sharp, director
of outreach with the Auburn Rescue Mission. "I know that the front
office of the Doubledays wants to bring the community together and this
is a huge step in that direction."
"Our organization is honored to host 'Hunger and Homelessness
Awareness' nights every Thursday night home game throughout the
season," said Adam Winslow, General Manager of the Auburn
Doubledays. "The opportunity to help those that are less fortunate in our
community, even in a small way, is something we feel we are obligated
to do. In our eyes, these small things are important, and the right thing to
do, to build community and help those in need."
Auburn Doubledays single game and season tickets for the 2017 season
are on sale now and can be purchased either in person at the Doubledays
office located at Falcon Park at 130 N Division Street in Auburn or by
