Tonight, July 21, the Philadelphia Phillies will be hosting their annual THON night, with 50 percent of all ticket purchases made with the code word ‘THON’ being donated to the Four Diamonds Fund to end childhood cancer. The Phillies are playing the Miami Marlins at home in Citizen’s Bank Park with the first pitch scheduled to be thrown out at 7:05 p.m.
According to Haley Staub, THON 2017 media relations captain, this is the fifth year of the promotion with the Phillies.
“We are looking forward to this great opportunity to u200bspread THON's mission, and to u200bengage the local and baseball communities in the fight against childhood cancer,” Staub (junior-public relations) said.
