Middle School Night/Rookie Marching Day Follow Up
Thank you to all who made these two events incredible successes! We are grateful to each our Future Darters and Rookies that participated in these events! We had nearly 400 students in the stands on Friday evening as we welcomed the Class of 2023 (Wow!) to Roger Williams Field! There was a great feeling of energy and excitement throughout our time together and the Future Darters jumped right in to help us cheer our Darter on to Victory!
To our Rookies that joined us on Saturday morning for Rookie Day, you were awesome! There were many incredible things taking place and learning opportunities that would not normally occur during a regular work week for the BDMB. The best part of the day was watching our Rookies become the POD leaders and leading their peers to success! Congratulations on a great day of learning! IEGYB!

A “New Opportunity” for Concessions!
We have begun a NEW CAMPAIGN to support our program through Concessions Donation opportunities! Through making a donation towards our sales efforts, you can watch your donation double, triple, even quadruple in value by supporting this effort!
For example, in donating $30 towards our concessions operation, you are helping us to purchase an 80-pack of hot dogs and 80 buns. At $3 per dog, this $30 donation now becomes $240 and actually multiplies your original donation by 800%! Yes, you read that right, 800%! We will continue to offer similar comparisons and how you can help us – now for the part that makes it easier!
All of this can be done VIA SCHOOLPAY! Click on the SchoolPay logo on the right hand side of this page and scroll to the bottom to see the New DirectConnect Button for Concessions Donations! We take care of all of the purchases! No need to shop!
We thank you for your support of our efforts to raise funds for our members and look forward to watching your donations grow exponentially as we continue to build an incredible program through which our members can grow and learn!
