Please see the flyer on our website for details and go to “Fundraising login” for information on purchasing tickets. You must log on through this process with our sjs code for our school to get credit. We currently have seats in Section 7, but will get additional seats as we sell out. If we sell enough tickets, we will get Video Board recognition, a Marketing table on the concourse, and a Ceremonial First Pitch. We get to walk down on the field before the game for our school to be recognized. Our Chorus will also be singing at this event (more info to follow). Please wear your Spirit Wear, T-shirts, or our school colors, and come join the fun!
