Pink at the Park Raises $3,700

The Brewers Care Club, the new community relations branch of the Hub City Brewers along with major event sponsor Aerus Electrolux is very pleased to announce that Pink at the Park successfully raised $3,700 for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. 

"Pink at the Park" was a huge success thanks in no small part to the support of our many fans and volunteers as well as the gracious support of our sponsors.

The Brewers would like to extend a big thank you to very special guests, Mr. Carl Beane, the official voice of Fenway Park and former major leaguer and Canadian Olympian, Mr. Rheal Cormier.

The round table discussion at the Gala Dinner, with emcee for the evening Mr. Marty Kingston asking questions of Carl and Rheal and having them recount stories from their pasts was tremendously entertaining, something that none in attendance will soon forget.

With Carl Beane at the mic as the guest PA announcer for the Pink at the Park game, the fans and players alike were treated to a truly professional sound, the same sound shared by Red Sox fans at Fenway Park. 

Fans were treated to a great baseball game as the Fredericton Royals scored twice in the top of the sixth inning to edge past the Brewers 4-3 in front of a crowd of just over 300 fans.

A very special thank you goes out to the following sponsors without whom, Pink at the Park would not have been possible:  Aerus Electrolux, Advocate Printing, Cavendish Farms, K94.5, Lounsbury Automotive, Majesta, MAX FM, Midland Transport, Papa John's Pizza, Ramada Plaza Crystal Palace and Spoil 'em Silly.

As is the case with any new event, the most difficult part of planning the event is creating awareness.  The Brewers Care Club is very proud to announce that Pink at the Park will return in 2012.

If you are interested in getting involved with the event either as a volunteer or as a sponsor, please contact the Hub City Brewers by phone at 851-9526 or by e-mail at hubcitybrewers@rogers.com
