T-Bones Welcome Mike Vick to Neighborhood
04/15/2008 2:04 PM
In an effort to raise awareness about animal abuse and pet adoption the Kansas City T-Bones have partnered with several animal safe havens to help put a stop to animal abuse on Michael Vick “Welcome to the Neighborhood” night at CommunityAmerica Ballpark Wednesday, May 28. The promotion headlines the 2008 T-Bones promotional lineup that fans have come to expect at CommunityAmerica Ballpark.
“With Vick being held right up the road about 15 minutes away it was a perfect opportunity for us to take the initiative and turn something so negative and put our own positive spin on it,” said T-Bones director of promotions Colin Aldrich. “We like to take newsworthy events and turn them into something fun for our fans, and this allows us to do that for a good cause by raising awareness for local animal shelters and other pet adoption agencies.”
Prior to the game, fans will have the opportunity to take the initial step in adopting dogs at CommunityAmerica Ballpark as several adoption agencies will be on hand showing off their dogs around the outside of the stadium. Organizations that have agreed to participate in the evening include Pets Without Partners, American Pit Bull Society, The Pet Connection, Heart of America Humane Society and the Humane Society of Greater Kansas City. Just prior to the National Anthem several dogs currently up for adoption will be paraded around the warning track of CommunityAmerica Ballpark.
“This event sponsored by the Kansas City T-Bones will be a celebration of our companion animals and is an opportunity for the Humane Society of Greater Kansas City and other organizations concerned for animal welfare to get the word out on ways we can reduce euthanasia of homeless pets and make a more joyful community for all KC's residents, both two legged and four,” said Humane Society of Greater Kansas City president Charles Vreeland.
During the game both teams will be dressed the part, the T-Bones will be wearing black and white striped jerseys while the visiting Gary SouthShore RailCats will wear bright orange jumpsuit replica jerseys. The jerseys will be auctioned off following the game with the proceeds benefiting the participating pet organizations. The park will be appropriately decorated for the prison themed night. All fans can benefit by bringing a picture of themselves with their dog to get a buy one get one free Fort Hays State Bleacher or berm ticket. The photos will be displayed on the dog display board which will be in a prominent location in the stadium.
The T-Bones are also excited to announced that the popular promotional nights are back again for this season. Mondays will once again be Free Cash Mondays presented by CommunityAmerica Credit Union where cash will be handed out to fans on selected nights; Tuesdays are giveaway nights; fans can play catch on the field following every Wednesday night game presented by Sonic; Thursdays are Family Nights sponsored by the Kansas City Star; Fridays are Theme Nights presented by the Kansas Lottery; Saturdays are Postgame Fireworks thanks to Helzberg Diamonds; and Sundays kids get to run the bases after the game.
In addition to the returning nightly promotions the T-Bones will also host the third annual Redneck Weekend June 20-22. The weekend will get started with Mullet Night on Friday night followed by special jerseys on Saturday night with the Redneck Wine and Cheese Festival. Sunday will be the always popular Redneck Olympics.
