Rotary Night at The River Bandits —July 8, 2012
Sunday, July 8 is Rotary Night at the ballpark as the Quad Cities River Bandits are teaming up with Rotary International and the Clinton LumberKings to turn the evening into a fundraiser to support the fight against Polio. Game time is 5pm.
Tickets are $7 with $3 from every ticket purchased being donated towards the fight against Polio. Bandits Bucks are also available for purchase at $1 each with 25 cents going back to club. Bandits Bucks are good until August 2012 and can be used anywhere in the ballpark! So even if you cannot attend the game, grab some Bandits Bucks and enjoy them (just like cash) at another game this season!
Submit ticket requests to davrotary@netexpress.net. We will submit a list with your purchase to the Bandits and your tickets and Bandits Bucks will be waiting for you at the "Will Call" window the day of the game. Make checks payable to DAVENPORT ROTARY and mail them to the office at 1910 E. Kimberly Road, Ste 310, Davenport, IA. 52807.
