Pelicans Team Up with WFXB for Annual School Supply Drive

With the new school year just around the corner, the Myrtle Beach Pelicans have teamed up with WFXB News to host a school supply drive at Pelicans Ballpark. The drive will run August 13 through 18. With the donation of any school supplies fans will receive a free wristband to the Sky Zone Fun Zone at Pelicans Ballpark. The wristband is valued at $5 and is available to kids 12 and under.

“The anticipation of a new school year is exciting but may be stressful for parents and teachers when it comes to purchasing school supplies,” said Ryan Moore, President of the Myrtle Beach Pelicans. “We are excited to partner with WFXB in an effort to help the children of our community start the year with everything they need to succeed in the classroom.”

The Pelicans will take on the Columbia Fireflies, affiliate of the Kanas City Royals, during the August series.
