JACKHAMMERS DONATE $1,000.00 TO THE GW BUCK BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB

JOLIET-The Joliet JackHammers are proud to partner with local non-profit organizations and groups at every “Winning Wednesday” home game during the 2009 season. With the help of the JackHammers, local organizations can pick a remaining Wednesday home game to book a group outing at Silver Cross Field. Groups can use their outings to raise funds through direct ticket sales. The JackHammers will also donate the proceeds of the 50-50 ticket raffle to the group that books the largest outing as well as giving $1,000.00 to a randomly selected charity at each “Winning Wednesday.” The GW Buck Boys and Girls Club received a $1,000.00 check after the JackHammers’ game against the Gary SouthShore RailCats last night.

“This is a great way for non-profit organizations to make an easy profit without having to invest a lot of time,” said JackHammers Executive Vice President/General Manager Kelly Sufka.

The JackHammers want to encourage local non-profit groups such as little leagues, charities and other grassroots organizations to come out to Silver Cross Field, enjoy a JackHammers game and raise some much-needed funds in doing so. The next “Winning Wednesday” at Silver Cross Field is Wednesday, June 17 at 7:05 p.m. against the Schaumburg Flyers at Silver Cross Field.

“The JackHammers once again proved to be a good neighbor to the Boys and Girls Club,” said GW Buck Boys and Girls Club Executive Director Steve Corrao. “The funds raised will be used to help provide summer programs for our members.”

The JackHammers want to talk to YOU about bringing your group to a “Winning Wednesday” this season. For tickets, or for more information, please call Assistant General Manager Kyle Kreger directly at (815) 774-2883.
