'Dogs Donate $1,000 to Teacher's Supply Closet

CHARLESTON, S.C. - School supplies are vital toward providing a great education for all children, but they can be expensive. In the Lowcountry, that's where the Teacher's Supply Closet steps in to provide pens, pencils, crayons, notebooks, and the like to Tri-County schools.

 

During Sunday's game with the Asheville Tourists, the Charleston RiverDogs presented a $1,000 contribution to the organization as the culmination of a year-long effort to boost their ability to outfit children with everything they need to succeed in school. The funds come from the money fans have paid to have their messages read over the public address system.

 

"Involvement in local schools is a point of pride for the Charleston RiverDogs, and we are pleased to know that we and our fans helped better the grade school experience of Lowcountry youth."

 

The RiverDogs put a ribbon on the 2011 season with Fan Appreciation Night on Monday at 6:05 p.m. Special door prizes will be given out all evening before a fireworks display illuminates the night sky and sends everyone home happy.

 

For more information and to order tickets to any RiverDogs game, please call the Riley Park Box Office at (843) 577-DOGS (3647) or log on to www.riverdogs.com.
