Event to benefit the Employee Wellbeing Fund
Baseball fans and corporate sponsors can cheer on the Windy City Thunderbolts July 27 while supporting local healthcare workers.
The Franciscan Health Foundation of South Suburban Chicago is hosting Home Team Healthcare Hero Night July 27 at Ozinga Field, 14011 S. Kenton Ave. in Crestwood, Ill. to benefit the Employee Wellbeing Fund.
Healthcare workers may fail to adequately care for their own mental, emotional, spiritual and physical needs while caring for others. The Employee Wellbeing Fund helps employees manage and overcome burnout while improving care delivery and provides opportunities for mental escapes encouraging mindfulness, creativity and relaxation.
The Home Team Healthcare Hero Night will feature entertainment by Strawdawg Band as well as postgame fireworks, access to the Kids’ Zone, opportunities to ride the mechanical bull, a split the pot raffle and a 90-minute all-you-can eat buffet with hamburgers, hot dogs, soft drinks and water. Vegetarian options will be available along with a cash bar will be available and private party decks.
The gates open at 4 p.m. and first pitch is at 6:05 p.m. Tickets are $25 through June 30 and $30 starting on July 1.
The first 200 to enter the ballpark with Home Team Healthcare Hero Night tickets will receive a swag bag featuring items provided by event sponsors.
Sponsorship opportunities ranging from $500 to $10,000 are available online through July 8. Sponsorships include the opportunity for an informational booth at the game and to provide promotional materials for the swag bags as well as various types of recognition based on sponsorship level. Sponsorships include game tickets and the buffet, with the number of tickets corresponding to the level of sponsorship.
