This year, Johnny has decided that instead of receiving presents for himself, he\u2019d like fans to help him support an important cause. In partnership with Community Harvest Food Bank, fans who donate three canned or non-perishable food items that day will receive a voucher for a free souvenir soft drink. (Visit the WaterFurnace Guest Services Booth on the concourse behind home plate to drop off donated items and receive voucher.)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re so grateful for the continued support of the Fort Wayne TinCaps and their fans,\u201d said Carmen Cumberland, CEO and President of the Community Harvest Food Bank. \u201cFood drives and donations like this mean the world to people who will be sharing this food at their table with loved ones. We couldn\u2019t ask for better friends in the community who see a need and join together to meet that need.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to benefitting the community, Johnny\u2019s Birthday Bash will also be a blast for members of the TinCaps Kids Club. Many of his local mascot friends will be in attendance. In fact, they\u2019ll even join together to play a Mascot Kickball Game before the TinCaps take the field. (Note: Gates will open to fans at 12:05 p.m.)<\/p>\n<p>Kids Club Members who purchase tickets through that link will be entered in a contest for the chance to participate in the Mascot Kickball Game.<\/p>\n<p>The TinCaps Kids Club is free for children 12 and under.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Community Harvest Food Bank<\/strong><br \/>\nEstablished in 1983, Community Harvest Food Bank of Northeast Indiana, Inc. feeds 21,100 people every week.
