Somerset Patriots Fans Can Be The Next Kid CEO

Bridgewater, NJ -- Do you think you could run the Somerset Partiots?

Young fans ages 8-15 can try out to be the next Kid CEO for the Somerset Patriots 2016 season. The Somerset Patriots have teamed up once again with their partners at Spearhead Staffing for the seventh time in this program.

Interviews for the Kid CEO will be conducted during the Patriots Fan Fest event on Saturday, April 9 from noon to 3 p.m. by the elevator on the main concourse to interview.

Five finalists will be selected from the interviews at Fan Fest and will return to a designated Somerset Patriots game to address the crowd on why they want to be the Kid CEO.

As the Kid CEO, the young fan will follow front office staff members during the games to learn about ticketing, merchandising, promotions, media, marketing, and ballpark operations. The Kid CEO will sit in on Patriots staff meetings and write about the experiences he/she has in the position. The Kid CEO will also receive a personalized Somerset Patriots jersey, tickets to five games, a ceremonial first pitch for a game, and a meet and greet with Sparky Lyle and the players.

"We are excited to sponsor the Kid CEO promotion again this year in partnership with the Somerset Patriots. Last years’ experience was outstanding for both Spearhead Staffing and the contest winner. Throughout the process, we were able to see a number of young Patriots fans grow in confidence, demonstrate their passion for Patriots baseball, and watch the selected Kid CEO learn a number of valuable lessons about baseball operations. Spearhead Staffing is once again partnering with a great organization with the aim to make this year's event even better for the children and families of Somerset County," said Doug Bryson, President of Spearhead Staffing.
