Basking Ridge Non-Profit Scores Patriots Tickets, Premier Seats At TD Bank Ball Park

BASKING RIDGE, NJ — A Basking Ridge nonprofit organization out of 40 in Somerset County has been selected by Somerset County Commissioner Director Shanel Y. Robinson to receive tickets to the Patriots for use of the Commissioners’ private suite at TD Bank Ballpark in Bridgewater.

Winners of the annual County Board of Commissioners Community Suite Drawing will have the opportunity to enjoy a home game to see the Somerset Patriots at one of the nation’s “Best Independent Ballparks,” according to Ballpark Digest. Opening day at the ballpark is Thursday, April 6 and there will be fireworks at 6:30 p.m.

"Our dedicated nonprofits provide valuable services and programs that make a positive impact in our communities. We are so grateful to the employees and volunteers who tirelessly continue to serve our residents," said Robinson. "This tradition is a way for us to show our gratitude to those organizations."

The Commissioners’ suite comes with 30 tickets to the game, comfortable couches in a climate- controlled indoor suite, plus seats along the third-base line to watch the game.

Nonprofits who have been selected to use the suite can use it to reward top volunteers and donors, host a fundraiser, or bring clients out for a fun evening to watch the AA Yankee Affiliate Patriots compete against some of the best teams in minor league baseball.
