Bravehearts

BIE Sellouts

Worcester, MA - The Worcester Bravehearts are excited to announce that both of their 2024 Baseball in Education Days on June 4th against the Futures League Road Warriors and June 6th against the Nashua Silver Knights, have sold out. This marks the earliest sellout in team history.

Bravehearts Baseball in Education Day is a 10:30 am game, in which the team welcomes schools, businesses and day centers to an early morning game that celebrates learning through baseball. This also marks the seventh consecutive sellout of Baseball in Education Day, going back to the team’s 2022 season.

“This is a true testament to the hard work our staff puts in both during our BIE days, and in the off-season,” said Bravehearts General Manager Dave Peterson. “We believe we have created the premier field trip destination in Central Mass that provides both a fun and educational experience. Our entertainment team provides an incredible show for our younger audiences, and our front office has worked recently with high schools to provide an educational experience in sports management.”

Through programs like Ticket-to-Read and the team’s Pen Pal Club, the Bravehearts have been able to establish year round relationships with schools in which the culmination of the program is a trip to the Bravehearts game.

“I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t at least a little surprised,” said Bravehearts Assistant General Manager Donny Porcaro Jr. “We usually start our outreach in October. Because of the recent events with the team, we were not able to start outreach until February this year. I was concerned that we had missed our window and schools already had trips booked. To my surprise, I found many schools already began planning internally for a Bravehearts event before we even had reached out.”

For schools that are still looking to experience a Bravehearts game, the team encourages schools to reach out to their Ticket Office at [email protected] to book a School Fundraising Night at the ballpark. 

“I’d like to extend a special thank you to our Group Experience Coordinator Devin Barbour and Community Relations Manager Helena Stamatakis,” said Bravehearts President Matt Vaccaro. “Since they were brought on board in February, they have hit the ground running to make these sellouts happen. I’d also like to thank all of the schools in the Central Mass area who continue to support the Bravehearts through these Baseball in Education Days.”
