SILVER CROSS HOSPITAL BREAST CANCER AWARENESS WEDNESDAYS
The JackHammers are extremely proud to host Silver Cross Hospital Breast Cancer Awareness Wednesdays at each Wednesday home game in 2007. Fans have the opportunity to participate in “Catch for the Cause” and play catch on the field for one-half hour before every Wednesday home game. The JackHammers and Silver Cross Field have also teamed up to give away a screening mammogram to one fan at the end of each Wednesday home game. The JackHammers will wear special Pink Jerseys at every Wednesday home game, which will eventually be auctioned off at the end of the 2007 season.
For more information or to learn how you can participate in this important partnership, please visit the Silver Cross Hospital official website at http://www.silvercross.org/features/bcaw.htm
HOUSE-A-HAMMER PROGRAM
Did you ever wonder what it is like to be a part of the JackHammers? Why not sign up for the House-A-Hammer program and house a JackHammer for the summer? Players routinely become “part” of their host families and get a chance to bond with members of the community that are kind enough to open up their homes to them for a few months.
The burden is a relatively easy one. The players pay their host families a nominal monthly fee to cover the cost of food and lodging. HOST FAMILIES RECEIVE SEASON TICKET VOUCHERS AS PAYMENT FOR THEIR PARTICIPATION IN THE HOUSE-A-HAMMER PROGRAM.
A complete program description and list of rules is attached below. If you would like more information, please call Sonia Little at 815-726-2255 extension 0.
