Phillies Tailgate Party To Benefit Alex's Lemonade Stand April 27

PHILADELPHIA — The annual Phillies tailgate party to benefit Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) is all set for April 27 when the Phillies take on the Miami Marlins.

What started as a tailgate out of the back of a pickup truck in 2010, has turned into a large-scale annual fundraiser.

Given the ongoing partnership with his company, Northwestern Mutual, Mike Goldovich and his wife, Kelly, decided it just made sense to turn the tailgate into a charitable event.

In 2018, more than 1,000 people attended.

This year, the goal is to raise more than $15,000 for ALSF to continue its fight against childhood cancer.

The Tailgate will take place on Saturday, April 27 from 1 p.m. to 6 pm in the K-Lot of Citizens Bank Park.

Advance tickets can be purchased for $25 each ($30 day-of) and give tailgaters access to burgers, hot dogs, hoagies, pretzels, snacks, beer and spiked lemonade for those 21 years old and up.

This family-friendly event will also include music and games.

Tickets can be purchased online here.

For discounted tickets to the Saturday night game, contact Kelly Goldovich at kellykeane08@gmail.com.

The Phillies will take on the Miami Marlins at 6:05 pm.
