Silver Hawks will offer peanut-free zone May 18

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- On May 18, the South Bend Silver Hawks are creating a special peanut-free zone in recognition of food allergy awareness week.

"I am excited that we are able to do this again in 2014. Last year's event was a huge hit and we were able to provide a fun day at the ballpark that many people were not able to experience in the past. We had one family in which their son had never been to a professional baseball game before because of his peanut allergies. We want to make sure everyone has the opportunity to experience a Silver Hawks game, so we will do whatever we can to make it a reality. Because of last year's success I expect the tickets to sell out quickly and as result, we have already started looking at dates for an additional night." states Joe Hart, Team President.



Tickets can be purchased through the Silver Hawks' Box Office for $17.00; space is limited to the first 50 people.

Price includes a game ticket, hot dogs, hamburgers, chips and soft drinks. Call the Box Office at 574-235-9988, or stop by the Box Office, located on W. South Street to purchase tickets for the peanut free suite.
