Alabama Baseball Tornado Relief Effort

I just received the following e-mail from Alabama Athletics:

Alabama Family,

This weekend the University of Alabama baseball team hosts LSU for a three game series beginning Friday, May 6, at 6:30 p.m. The weekend series will continue on Saturday, May 7, at 3 p.m. and Sunday, May 8, at 1 p.m.

In an effort to provide a temporary diversion for those touched by storm damage, displaced community members, first responders, and others that are crucial to the recovery effort are invited to attend the series free of charge. Food will be provided behind right field.

For the remainder of UA fans, admission will be free to all three baseball games with a donation. The Red Cross will have a cargo truck parked in front of Sewell-Thomas Stadium to receive donations.

Donation Needs:

• Comfort Kits - the kit contains deodorant, toothbrush, toothpaste, facial tissues, wash cloth, shampoo, liquid soap, lotion, comb, razor, and shaving cream.
• Clothing
• Baby items - diapers, formula, toys, bottles, wipes...

On game day, cash donations will be handled by the Red Cross and checks will be accepted for the UA Acts of Kindness Fund.

The University of Alabama Athletics Department would like to thank you for your contribution to our community in this time of need. We hope to see you this weekend at Sewell-Thomas Stadium.

Roll Tide!
