\nDrop Off Your Donations to the Salvation Army of Allen County at Parkview Field on June 24<\/em><\/p>\n

Fort Wayne, Indiana (JUne 21, 2025) \u2013 In partnership with the Salvation Army of Allen County, the Fort Wayne TinCaps will be accepting donations for the \u201cTools for School Campaign\u201d on Tuesday, June 24.<\/p>\n

The TinCaps urge fans and organizations to bring their donations to Parkview Field as the TinCaps take on the Great Lakes Loons. Set them in a real school bus, parked beyond center field. The bus will be right along the Touch-A-Truck event going on throughout Tuesday night\u2019s game.<\/p>\n

The Salvation Army is asking for the community to donate supplies for students in need before they head back to school this next fall. The current goal is to help 800 local students, but hope that the donations rise far beyond that goal.<\/p>\n

Along with the event on Tuesday, shoppers are welcome to drop off supplies at any red donation bin around Allen County. Collections are now open and will run through July 22.<\/p>\n

All fans who bring an item(s) to donate will receive a voucher for a free reserved seat ticket to any game the rest of the season.<\/p>\n

The needed supplies are as follows, with bolded items being the most in demand:<\/p>\n
