SWB Pinstripes Foundation to host second holiday luncheon Thursday

200 students and young adults headed to PNC Field for free holiday-inspired lunch

 

MOOSIC, PA (December 11, 2018) – On Thursday, December 13, the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders and their charitable arm, the SWB Pinstripes Foundation, will host their second luncheon this holiday season.  The club will welcome life skills and special education students in middle school and high school as well as several young adult programs.  The luncheon will begin at 11:30 A.M. and will be held in the Legends Club at PNC Field.   

 

“We are happy to once again open the ballpark for a free event like this,” said Jordan Maydole, the RailRiders Director of Community Relations.  “Our Thanksgiving luncheon was a success with 200 local children and young adults in attendance.  It is such a joyous time of year and we hope that Thursday’s event matches that feeling of the holiday season!”

 

CHAMP, the RailRiders mascot will be on-hand to entertain while the guests enjoy a holiday-themed meal and participate in craft-making.  In addition, a special guest from the North Pole may visit PNC Field.

 

This event, like the Thanksgiving luncheon last month, were made possible through approximately $10,000 in donations through the SWB Pinstripes Foundation.  The foundation also recently completed a sale of poinsettias and wreaths for the holiday season.

 

“The SWB Pinstripes Foundation is committed to improving our community,”  said Amy Miller, the manager of the SWB Pinstripes Foundation.  “2018 has been phenomenal year and we are looking forward to growing our reach to best benefit Northeast Pennsylvania.”
