"FOX First Responders Night" has entertainment for the whole family from pre-game to post-game. Before the game, emergency vehicles will be parked on the main plaza for fans to check out as they head into the ballpark.

Prior to the game, a check for $500 will be presented on the field to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation. The foundation operates with the mission to honor and remember America's fallen fire heroes, to provide resources to assist their families in rebuilding their lives, and work within the fire service community to reduce firefighter deaths and injuries.
