Jacksonville Sharks Preseason Scrimmage benefiting Second Harvest

Date: 
March 3, 2012 - 12:30pm
Location: 
Sea Best Field at Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena
Ticket Information: 
Admission to the scrimmage is free, but fans are asked to bring a donation of non-perishable food on behalf of Second Harvest
Description: 

The ArenaBowl XXIV Champion Jacksonville Sharks will hold a free preseason benefit scrimmage for the second consecutive year in support of Second Harvest North Florida.

The Sharks have partnered with Second Harvest North Florida, joining forces in the preseason contest for the second straight year. The two organizations will use this event to generate resources needed to feed the food-insecure households throughout the First Coast. Additionally, Florida Transfer & Storage will help collect and transport donated items to the Second Harvest warehouse and distribution center.

During last year’s preseason event, the Sharks and Second Harvest collected a total of 8,140 pounds of canned food. An increase to 15,000 pounds donated would theoretically provide enough food to feed one meal to a capacity crowd at Sea Best Field.
