The Greenville Drive will play the Lakewood BlueClaws at 7 p.m.  Players will wear pink uniforms, and the public will have the opportunity to sign up for the upcoming Race for the Cure, which will be held at Fluor Field on September 25.  Additionally, Komen SC Mountains to Midlands will debut the “Flash Mob for the Cure” video at the game, which features familiar local faces dancing to a choreographed routine to the song “My Girl.”

“We are excited to have a great community partner like the Greenville Drive to help us promote breast cancer awareness and research through events such as Komen Night,” said Krista Bannister, Executive Director of the Affiliate and breast cancer survivor.  “It’s our hope that both baseball fans and those touched by this disease will come out August 4 to support the cause.”
