Mother’s Day with the Phillies ⚾
May 3 @ 2:05 pm – 7:05 pm

Good evening all!
Once again, we will be joining the T21 Club and neighboring counties for our annual Down Syndrome Awareness Day at the Phillies. The Phillies will be hosting our groups on Sunday May 3rd a 2:05PM start versus the Colorado Rockies. Based on positive feedback from last year’s game we will once again be offering the option of a game ticket only or game ticket / pregame tent party.

Date: Sunday, May 3rd
Game: Phillies v. Colorado Rockies
Game Time: 2:05pm
Seats: Section 206 or 207
(Handicap Accessible Seating is available).

For those who braved the elements last year and attended the pre-game party it was a very entertaining experience.

With that said let me explain our two options:

Option 1
Purchase a Game Ticket for $38.00.
Game ticket only in section 206 or 207. Children 2 and under are free.

Option 2
Game Ticket / Pregame Tent Party. Game Seats in 206 or 207
$78.00 for 11 years old to adult
$58.00 for 6 – 10 years old
$38.00 for 3 -5 years old with parent who purchased a $78.00 ticket
Ages 2 and under are free

The pre-game tent party will be from 12:00pm – 1:30pm and will include Food & Soft beverage, great music and dancing, face painters, and a Phillies gift item.

Commemorative tee-shirts will be available on a first come first serve basis.

Phillies Mother’s Day Gift

The Phillies are honoring all women at this game with a Mother’s Day appreciation gift upon entering the ballpark.

We do have a limited number of accessible seats available.

Tickets must be ordered and paid for by March 31st.

You can order by emailing [email protected] or call me at 484-682-5550. Please let me know which option you are choosing and provide a phone number when ordering by email.

Checks should be made payable to Jack Malone and can be mailed to me at 4913 Jackson Drive Brookhaven, Pa 19015. Thank you for your time and I look forward to spending the day with you at the ballpark.

Take care,
Jack Malone
