Special night with Bowie Baysox benefits Chesapeake Kids programs

Ticket sales through Hospice of the Chesapeake will help children with advanced illness or grieving a loss

Hospice of the Chesapeake invites the community to spend an evening at the ballpark for Chesapeake Kids Night with the Bowie Baysox on Tuesday, Aug. 22. The game against the Reading Fighting Phils starts at 7:05 p.m. at Prince George’s Stadium, the team’s home field in Bowie, Maryland. The fundraiser is sponsored by M&T Bank.

Not only do spectators get to experience the LEGO Play Ball Tour and Dollar Dog Night at the ballpark, but when they buy tickets directly from the nonprofit, proceeds from ticket sales will benefit Chesapeake Kids, a program of Hospice of the Chesapeake that supports children in Anne Arundel and Prince George’s Counties living with and affected by advanced illness. It also offers counseling and support programs for children and families grieving a loss, including the Camp Nabi and Phoenix Rising children’s bereavement camps.

Ticket prices are $20 for adults and $10 for children ages 12 and younger and include a special Chesapeake Kids souvenir. Tickets can be purchased online at www.hospicechesapeake.org/support-donate/signature-events/bowie-baysox-game.
