On Saturday, May 18th, 2024, there will be special Mental Health Awareness programming during the Eastside Diamond Hoppers vs. Birmingham Bloomfield Beavers baseball games. Magician Anthony Grupido will be presenting the Magic of Hope in between games. The first pitch is at 5:30 p.m. and there will be a doubleheader, meaning one ticket is valid for both games. Gates open at 4:30 p.m.
Mental Health Awareness Night is an important event as nearly 1 in 5 American adults suffer from a mental illness each year. Community awareness helps to reduce stigma and increase the likelihood of treatment or intervention. Join the USPBL to bring awareness to Mental Health Awareness Month. The first 500 fans will receive a free Mental Health Awareness T-shirt courtesy of Epoch Expressions.
The Birmingham Bloomfield Beavers will be wearing a specialty jersey to promote Mental Health Awareness. These jerseys will be available for purchase leading up to the game and after the game. All proceeds from the jersey sales will go to the Brendan Davis Memorial Foundation. The link to bid on jerseys will be available soon.
For Double Play Saturday, there is a special ticket offer for $15.99. This ticket includes admission to both games, a Salus Group Platinum Club Box Seat, one hot dog, and one soft drink. This is a great deal to enjoy a day at the ballpark and support Mental Health Awareness.
