'Bella Vista Night at the Phillies' Sells Out
Bella Vista Town Watch thanks everyone who purchased tickets for the 7th annual Bella Vista Night at the Phillies, its fundraiser originally set this year for June 9th, when the Phillies were to play the Florida Marlins at Citizen's Bank Park.
Due to inclement weather on June 9th, the game was rescheduled to 1:05pm on Sept. 6th as a part of a split doubleheader. BVTW encourages all "Bella Vista Night at the Phillies" ticketholders to attend the rescheduled game.
The event sold 250 tickets by early May and has become both an annual community gathering and an important fundraiser for BVTW.
Spearheaded by BVTW Finance Committee Chair John Smyth, Bella Vista Night at the Phillies this year raised $2,000 via in ticket sales (thanks to the Phillies donating $8 for every $26 ticket sold) and $395 in private donations for BVTW.
BVTW thanks its loyal Bella Vista Night at the Phillies ticket buyers and also its private donors.
We look forward to seeing everybody at Citizen's Bank Park on Sept. 6th!
