OKC Baseball Club and MidFirst Bank to "Pack the Park Pink" Friday

OKLAHOMA CITY – Oklahoma City Baseball Club players and coaches will wear special edition pink jerseys and hats Friday night and the jerseys will be auctioned to benefit Susan G. Komen Oklahoma as OKC partners with MidFirst Bank to “Pack the Park Pink” at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark.

Unique events to promote breast cancer awareness will be held throughout the 7:05 p.m. game against the El Paso Chihuahuas Friday, and “Pack the Park Pink” will culminate with a pink fireworks show following the game, presented by MidFirst Bank. Fans can take part in a silent auction to bid on the team’s game-worn pink jerseys throughout the night. Gates open at 6 p.m. and the first 1,000 fans will receive a paddle fan.

Oklahoma City-based MidFirst Bank is the largest privately held bank in the nation and demonstrates a steadfast commitment to the greater community through philanthropy, volunteerism and many corporate partnerships and sponsorships. From healthcare, to education, to a wide range of civic-oriented and charitable organizations, the bank supports people, organizations and businesses in the markets it serves.

MidFirst Bank customers have raised more than $3 million through its Pink Card program. Since the program’s introduction, this cause-related card has been consistently requested by both new and existing customers, making the funds raised to-date a true community-wide effort.

On Friday, fans are encouraged to wear pink in support of the cause and representatives from Susan G. Komen Oklahoma will be on the concourse to provide information about the organization. The mission of Susan G. Komen is “to save lives by meeting the most critical needs of our communities and investing in breakthrough research to prevent and cure breast cancer.”

Oklahoma City-area breast cancer survivors will take the field pregame during the announcement of the starting lineup, sing the national anthem and deliver a ceremonial first pitch. A unique and fun fan photo opportunity will be on display on the concourse. A breast cancer awareness quiz in Friday’s digital PlayBall! game program can be completed and redeemed for a pink bracelet.
