The Williamsport Crosscutters will honor essential workers during the upcoming 2021 season. The program, called Frontline Heroes, is presented by UPMC and will honor an essential worker in pregame ceremonies at every Cutters home game this season.
"As we all know, frontline and essential workers were all heroes, and continue to be, during the pandemic. If this was a normal year, we'd have a full night in their honor," said Gabe Sinicropi, head of Cutters marketing.
"But faced with very limited stadium capacity that was unfortunately impossible. In lieu of that, we will shine the spotlight on one of these extraordinary heroes each night to represent the countless essential workers who have continually gone above and beyond every day in our community," he said.
To nominate your Frontline Hero, simply fill out the online nomination form available at Crosscutters.com. Those chosen will receive:
• Four tickets to the selected game
• A $25 Cutters gift card
• Recognition on the field prior to the game
• Ceremonial first pitch honors
Frontline and essential workers comprise numerous professions including but not limited to; medical personnel, teachers, fire and emergency personnel, police officers, service and hospitality workers, grocery and retail workers and many more.
Nominations will remain open until all 34 available spots are filled.
The 2021 Williamsport Crosscutters home opener is scheduled for Tuesday, May 25, at Historic Bowman Field as the Cutters begin play in the new MLB Draft League. MVP Club Season Ticket Plans and Bonus Book Mini-Plans are now available online at crosscutters.com or by calling 570-326-3389.
