This summer the Tampa Bay Rays are promoting summer reading by giving away free baseball tickets to home games. Children round the bases on their paper reading score cards and are eligible for a free baseball ticket once they reach home plate. To get to first base children must read for 3 hours, to get to second base students must read another 5 hours, reading 7 more hours gets students the third base, a final 9 hours of reading get students to home plate. So for a total 24 hours of reading, students finish their reading card and can get their free baseball ticket. They are also eligible to purchase up two upper deck seats at a $2 discount.
Eligible Tampa bay Rays’ games:
Sunday, August 2 Tampa Bay Rays vs. Kansas City Royals
Friday, August 14, 2009 Tampa Bay Rays vs. Toronto Orioles
Sunday, August 16, 2009 Tampa Bay Rays vs. Toronto Orioles
Friday, August 21, 2009 Tampa Bay Rays vs. Texas Rangers
Sunday, August 23, 2009 Tampa Bay Rays vs. Texas Rangers
Friday, September 4, 2009 Tampa Bay Rays vs. Detroit Tigers
Friday, September 18, 2009 Tampa Bay Rays vs. Toronto Orioles
Be sure to pick up a card at your local Tampa Bay public library (Hillsborough Public Library Cooperative, Manatee County Library System, Pasco County Library Cooperative and Pinellas Public Library Cooperative) and start reading.
A good idea. Nice to hear about. It is a nice concept for the reading practise to children. Nice discount for the upper deck. Easy way to get baseball tickets. A different idea!!
Yeah this is a great offer. Read for baseball. Excellent.
It is a good motivator for kids to read. The free tickets to the Rays game are good for families to spend some inexpensive quality time together and make lasting memories.
It is so nice to see that there are still peaple that care about the coming of the non-reading generation. I am 30 and I read a lot and I see that the kids on 13 never read a book.
