Peanuts + Cracker Jacks won’t be the only items you will find inside the ballpark this week. The Columbia Fireflies are partnering with the Charleston RiverDogs, the Greenville Drive, and the Myrtle Beach Pelicans to host a Hurricane Helene disaster relief drive for the Augusta + Asheville communities.

“So many in our community and on our staff have reached out wanting to know how they could help. Thankfully we were able to partner with the other teams in SC to provide support for some of the hardest hit areas and I have no doubt that Fireflies fans and the Columbia community will overwhelm us with donations and support,” Fireflies Team President Brad Shank said.

From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday, October 7 through Wednesday, Oct. 9 Segra Park will transform into a drop site for supplies.
