Play ball: Akron RubberDucks offer ticket deal to help Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank
The Akron RubberDucks are partnering with FirstEnergy and the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank to help fight hunger and allow fans to score a deal on tickets.
Fans who show up with three of the so-called Super Six non-perishable food items for the April 11 game against the Altoona Curve will be able to purchase a ticket for $5.
The Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank truck will be parked under the Canal Park archway collecting the food items and offering the discounted tickets.
The Super Six non-perishable items that are part of the deal include: boxed cereal, canned soup/stew, canned tuna, canned vegetables, macaroni & cheese, and peanut butter.
“We are excited to join forces with FirstEnergy to help the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank collect much needed non-perishable items,” RubberDucks President and General Manager Jim Pfander said in a statement.
The RubberDucks will be wearing their FirstEnergy electric blue uniforms for the game and there will be fireworks that night as well.
"As many families struggle with the increased costs for fuel, groceries and other necessities, we are thankful for partnerships like this one that support families seeking food assistance right here in our community," said Dan Flowers, president and CEO of the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank in a statement. "Last year, we provided more food than any other year in the organization's history, and this year is likely to see the same elevated demand for food assistance."
