You have probably noticed that I've been going heavy on "things to do" around town in my recent blog posts. This is in an ongoing attempt on my part to be more well-rounded and talk about more than just food and phrases, which are still my passions.
But it's also an attempt to encourage Yorkers to get out and EXPERIENCE the community rather than just reading about it, which is really what I hope news organizations are all about.
In keeping with that, about the most "Only in York County" experience I can think of in the summer is attending a Revs game. And I've gotten several news releases lately about fundraiser efforts; in essence, if you order tickets online through yorkrevolution.com, and put in a certain fundraiser code (click on "fundraiser code access"), the organization bearing that code will get a portion of the ticket proceeds.
Here are a couple that I know of; feel free to comment with more if you know of them.
To benefit the York County Library System, buy tickets for the 7 p.m. Aug. 17 game against the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs; use code lib09.
To benefit Hopewell Presbyterian Church in East Hopewell Township, buy tickets for the 7 p.m. Sept. 5 game against the Bridgeport Bluefish; use code hopewell09.
There is a large list of fundraising partners here on the Revs' site, but you have to click each one to find out what the game date is, and some have already passed, so I'd like to list them out by game if you know of them.
(For my part, tomorrow night, I'm going to be a traitor and go with my family and see the Harrisburg Senators play. Don't hit me!)
