Three Rivers College wants to take you out to the ball game for its second annual Day at the Ballpark event, sponsored by the Three Rivers College Endowment Trust.
"If there's one thing we all have in common in Southeast Missouri, it's a love of the St. Louis Cardinals, and a love of baseball," said TRC Director of Development Michelle Reynolds. "Three Rivers and the Endowment Trust wanted to give this opportunity for members of our community to come together, have fun, and celebrate Three Rivers College."
The event will be held at the Cardinals game against Arizona at 6:15 p.m. Saturday, July 29, at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, and Reynolds said all members of the community are invited to purchase tickets.
Regular tickets are $25 each for reserved seating sections 128B-130B. Round-trip transportation is also available for $15 each.
"To be able to offer this value is amazing for us," Reynolds said, as face value on the regular tickets exceeds $60.
A limited quantity of luxury experience tickets that include box seating, food, drink and tickets for round-trip transportation are available for $250 each.
Reynolds said she is thrilled to continue this new tradition after a wonderful community response to 2016's inaugural event.
Again this year, Cindy White and members of the TRC choir will head to the field and perform "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" during the seventh inning stretch.
Reynolds said the Saturday evening event will also feature a post-game fireworks display and a promotion by the St. Louis Cardinals where the first 30,000 fans ages 16 and over will go home with a replica 1919 Cardinals jersey.
"We were really thrilled to get a Saturday night game this year and we're looking forward to a great day," Reynolds said.
All proceeds from TRC's Day at the Ballpark benefit the Three Rivers Endowment Trust Annual Fund, which is used to benefit students in Southeast Missouri.
Reynolds encourages folks to purchase tickets by the end of June, as a limited supply are available on a first-come-first-serve basis.
Tickets can be purchased by contacting Reynolds at 573-840-9077 or michellereynolds@trcc.edu, Edie Dilbeck at 573-840-9688 or edilbeck@trcc.edu or at Poplar Bluff Realty, located at 1800 N. Westwood Blvd.
