Local schools and non-profit organizations can once again boost their fundraising efforts through a program offered by locally owned, employee-owned Price Cutter and Bistro Market. The Fast Pitch Fundraising Program offers schools and non-profit organizations the opportunity to earn 100% of the profits raised from selling tickets to Springfield Cardinals’ home games.
The program began last year when Price Cutter and Bistro Market contracted with the Springfield Cardinals to design a special seating area in Hammons Field stadium called Bistro Garden. Fast-Pitch Fundraiser ticket holders have sole access to this exclusive patio space located behind first base.
Price Cutter and Bistro Market provide qualifying schools and non-profit organizations with 32 tickets to a Springfield Cardinals home game at no cost. While the suggested value is $20-30 per ticket, participating groups can sell the tickets at any price and use 100% of the proceeds to assist with a special need, such as purchasing playground equipment.
“The tough economy continues to present budget challenges for schools and non-profits in our community,” stressed Erick Taylor, President & CEO of Pyramid Foods. “We encourage these organizations to take advantage of our Fast-Pitch Fundraiser program. The Springfield Cardinals have 72 home games this season offering 72 schools or non-profit organizations the opportunity to earn hundreds of dollars while enjoying America’s favorite past time at Bistro Gardens.”
Representatives of schools or non-profit organizations interested in reserving Springfield Cardinals’ home games through the Fast-Pitch Fundraising Program can contact Pyramid Foods’ marketing department at (417) 829-9200 or donations@pyramidfoods.net.
