Biogen and Minor League Baseball’s Durham Bulls are joining forces to celebrate “America 250” in the Triangle Community.
This major American milestone, marking 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence, will take on a local feel in the Research Triangle area in North Carolina, where Biogen has a large manufacturing presence.
The Biogen Foundation, a community investor organization, will donate $250 for every run achieved by a Bulls batter in each of the six games held during the “America 250” celebrations.
Donations will be handed over to the Fund for Community Health at the North Carolina Community Foundation.
There will also be themed nights, including a Military Appreciation Night, Youth Sports Night and an Independence Day Celebration, all coming from the end of June through July 5.
“We’re so excited to celebrate the week of ‘America 250’ here in Durham with our wonderful partners at Biogen,” Nick Bavin, Director of Business Development at CBC Sports, said in a release.
“With their support, the Bulls will give local fans additional firework shows, giveaways, and special experiences during our homestand.”
