CAC Of Wicomico County Experience TWO Rain Out Games With Shorebirds


The silent auction of the custom-made CAC helmets that will be worn by the Shorebirds will occur on Friday, August 21st?

Both the original CAC as well as the make-up CAC events were rained out. One of our biggest money-maker this year will be the helmet auction.

Wicomico County Child Advocacy Center Night

About a week ago, a shipment arrived here in the front office. In the packages were light blue helmets with yellow bills. They peeked my interest so I went over to David Bledsoe, our Inside Sales Manager, to find out more. The helmets (modeled by our Intern Tony Salerno) will be worn by all the Shorebirds on Friday, May 29th as part of the 3rd Annual Wicomico County Child Advocacy Center Night at Arthur W. Perdue Stadium. A silent auction will be held during the game to benefit the Advocacy Center. Really good cause and I think a pretty cool item to hang in an office or rest on a shelf in your house.

I urge all of you local Salisbury residents to come out on Friday and bid on your favorite Shorebirds helmet. Disclaimer: Tony Salerno's helmet will not be part of the auction, sorry. Thanks to Tony for modeling the helmet.

(Salisbury, MD) - The Wicomico County Child Advocacy Center, State's Attorney Davis Ruark and Your Delmarva Shorebirds have joined forces once again to hold the 3rd Annual Child Advocacy Center Night at Arthur W. Perdue Stadium on Friday, May 29th beginning at 7:05pm. The goal of this event is to raise awareness of child abuse and neglect occurring right here in Wicomico County and to generate funds to help the CAC in their efforts to better investigate, assess, prosecute and treat children and families impacted by it.

As in years past, this season's event is anchored by a post game fireworks spectacular; however the real fireworks could begin prior to the game as friends of the CAC and State's Attorney Davis Ruark gather to "Dunk Davis for Dollars". Beginning at 6:05pm, a long list of celebrities will enter the CAC Dunk Tank where fans will have the opportunity to purchase throws in order to dunk them. All proceeds go to benefit the Child Advocacy Center. Some of the local celebrities include WMDT's Katherine Amenta and Stacy Sakai, Jim Perdue, President of First Shore Federal Savings and loan, Marty Neat, Delegate Jim Mathias and many more. Of course it wouldn't be "Dunk Davis for Dollars" if Davis himself didn't enter the tank. Just prior to the start of the game the CAC Dunk Tank will be driven onto the field for a "special" ceremony. The individual who purchased the most throws before the game, and Jim Perdue, will get their best shots to Dunk Davis in front of a packed house.

Maybe if we got to dunk Liz.I and Jamie D. in tee shirts more people would come out. No one really cares to see a dunked leprecan.

OMG did I just say that.

Yes you did. This is the first time I've ever posted on a blog, but if you think that you can take on a "dunked leprecan", all I can say is give it your best shot! Like I've always said, it's all to benefit the kids. Thanks. Davis Ruark
