WHAT:
The Brockton Rox, in partnership with Eastern Bank—the Official Bank of the Rox—will host football hero Doug Flutie at Campanelli Stadium on Thursday, August 21st for a special appearance. Flutie will throw the ceremonial first pitch, sign autographs and officially join the Rox as a player – pitching to a live batter during the game.

Highlighting the evening’s unity of sports, Flutie will team up with Eastern Bank President and Chief Operating Officer and former Division 1AA (now FCS) college football player Quincy Miller for a playful, football-inspired, community challenge on the baseball diamond. With each completed catch – from short to deep – the Eastern Bank Foundation and the Rox will increase a donation to local non-profit House of Possibilities, proving that when baseball and football join forces, everyone wins.

Through the years, Eastern Bank and Doug Flutie have worked together to bring good to the community, including through the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism, and they’re excited to join with the Rox to bring an evening of sport, community good, fun and camaraderie to fans! To help drive more awareness for empowering individuals and families affected by autism to live their fullest lives, Flutie will also be available for autographs for a small donation to his Foundation.
