SWB Pinstripes Foundation hosting first of two holiday luncheons at PNC Field

200 elementary students in Legends Club at PNC Field today for Thanksgiving meal

 

MOOSIC, PA (November 14, 2018) – The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders and their charitable arm, the SWB Pinstripes Foundation, will host two luncheons this holiday season.  The first, a Thanksgiving meal, is slated for today at 11:30 A.M. in the Legends Club at PNC Field and will serve 200 elementary school-aged Life Skills and Special Education students from across Northeast Pennsylvania.

 

“As this season of giving begins, we are excited to welcome 200 children to the ballpark for today’s lunch,” stated Jordan Maydole, the RailRiders Director of Community Relations.  “We will have the students plus their teachers and aides here, and our mascot, CHAMP.  The children will also have the chance to participate in Thanksgiving-themed arts and crafts to create a keepsake that they can bring home and show their families.  It should be a fun and meaningful time.”

 

Today’s event was made possible through approximately $10,000 in donations through the SWB Pinstripes Foundation.  A second holiday lunch will be held on December 13.

 

“The SWB Pinstripes Foundation is committed to aiding the underserved in our community and giving back to the community that has given us so much support,” said Amy Miller, the Manager of the SWB Pinstripes Foundation.  “To provide these free holiday meals and to continue our outreach in the community, we rely on the generosity of our donors.  We are still accepting donations to support our next event and encourage those who can get involved to be a part of what we are doing here in NEPA.”
