Press release from the City of Fort Wayne:<\/p>\n

Fort Wayne continues All America City fundraising efforts at Sunday’s TinCaps game<\/strong>
\n Special activities include silent auction, free concert after game<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The City of Fort Wayne’s All America City bid committee is partnering with the Fort Wayne TinCaps Sunday to help raise money for the committee’s trip next month as they look to put Fort Wayne in the National Civic League Hall of Fame with the third All America City award for the Summit City.<\/p>\n

At Sunday’s game, anyone mentioning “All America City” when buying their tickets will have $1 of each ticket purchased donated to the travel scholarships. It will not change the price for the purchaser. A free concert from local band Teays Vein will follow the game.<\/p>\n

“Fort Wayne will receive national recognition if we take home our third All America City award, but we first need to raise the money to send a dedicated group of volunteers to Tampa next month,” Mayor Tom Henry said. “We have a lot of pride in our community and having a chance to unite our newest downtown jewel with our All America City efforts is the perfect combination.”<\/p>\n

The committee is also hosting a silent auction from 1:30 p.m. to 6:15 p.m. Sunday in the Lincoln Event Center at Parkview Field. Mayor Henry will stop by the event center around 3 p.m.<\/p>\n

More than 35 items will be available to bid on including:<\/p>\n
