Rockers annual ‘Educators Appreciation Night’ to feature additional fun

ASHWAUBENON – The Green Bay Rockers will hold their annual “Educators Appreciation Night” on Friday, June 6 this summer, partnering with Green Bay Packers Give Back to provide extra incentive for all area teachers to be in attendance.

Local educators will have an opportunity to win funds for their classrooms through a unique promotion tied to the game.

Starting today, all teachers can sign up for a complimentary ticket to Educators Appreciation Night through greenbayrockers.com.

By signing up, the teacher is automatically entered for a chance to win funds for their school classroom.

Green Bay Give Back is also providing an opportunity for educators to purchase additional tickets at a discounted price for friends, family and neighbors.

As part of the promotion, three Rockers players in the June 6 lineup will be using Rawlings painted bats resembling pencils.

Each player’s successful at bat result will correlate to funds donated to a teacher in attendance to use for their classroom.

The following ‘at-bat success’ scale will be used to distribute the funds from the results of the three players: $250 donation to one teacher if the player reaches first-base via single or walk; $500 donation to one teacher if the player hits a double; $750 donation to one teacher if the player hits a triple; and $1,000 donation to one teacher if the player hits a home run.

If the success of all the combined at bats does not equate to giving away the entire $5,000 during game play, the remaining funds will be split up and distributed among the teachers in attendance.

“This new Educators Appreciation Night ‘pencil bat’ promotion is going provide both a unique twist to engage fans in the play on field while also providing support to teachers with funds to use for their classroom. We are appreciative of the hard work all teachers do to shape the lives of our youth and are thrilled to partner with Green Bay Packers Give Back to make this happen,” said Rockers Vice President & General Manager John Fanta.
