The Lake Erie Crushers have teamed up with local schools to make a pitch for reading and to strike out illiteracy with a month-long Reading Club program. The goal of the program is to promote the importance of literacy and education while at the same time fostering a life-long love of reading.
At the beginning of March, each student received a poster to track the number of books read. Readers can hit a home run by reading 20 books, earning two tickets to a Lake Erie Crushers game this summer. Each school will have a special night at the ballpark where they will be recognized for their accomplishments and their students will be able to run the bases after the game.
