THE FLORIDA MARLINS DONATE 50,000 TICKETS TO MIAMI - The Florida Marlins organization has partnered with Miami-Dade County Public Schools to donate 50,000 game day tickets to be given away to students and staff at as many schools as possible. The partnership is the result of a meeting between Schools Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho and Florida Marlins president David Samson. Each selected student or staff member will receive four tickets, including one for them and three for guests at one of 15 home games during the summer season, June 20 through August 25. Each of the six District regions will determine which schools in their areas will receive tickets. Students who have made learning gains, improved their attendance, demonstrated good citizenship, made the honor roll or scored a level 3 or higher on the FCAT will be rewarded with tickets. In addition, staff members who have made a significant contribution this school year will also receive tickets. The ticket donation was made through the Florida Marlins and Major League Baseball Commissioners Community Initiative, which recognize students and staff. For more information, contact Mark E. Zaher, Director, District/School Operations, at 305-995-2710. # # # 11-JS/099/HD |
