Woodbridge, Va. — The Potomac Nationals have invited children and parents to come to Pftizner Stadium in Woodbridge for a good cause.
The minor league baseball team has partnered with ACTS in Dumfries to collect canned goods and toys for residents in ACTS temporary shelter in Dumfries. Those who bring five or more items will receive a discount in the team store also located at the stadium.
Children who come will have a chance to get a photo with Santa Slam, who serves as the team’s mascot during the regular season and normally goes by Uncle Slam.
The team store will also offer up to half off all merchandise in the store, as well as some 2011 game-worn jerseys, said team spokesman Will Flemming. Those who donate will get up to an additional 15 percent off team merchandise, added Flemming,
The event will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the stadium behind the Prince William County Government Center on Prince William Parkway.
