Batman arrived in his Batmobile Lamborghini to greet fans and talk with them about inhalant abuse prevention.

Four lucky middle school fans were chosen to go on the field with ACE and Batman for a pre-game Inhalant Abuse Prevention presentation.  The fans answered five questions on inhalant abuse prevention before Batman led the stadium in an Inhalant Abuse Prevention Pledge.

Throughout the game, Batman interacted with fans giving out Batman bracelets and signing ACE/Baysox posters that featured Caleb Joseph (#17) and the ACE Strike Out Inhalant logo.   In the fifth inning, Joseph was honored for his 400^th game with the BaySox.  Fans enjoyed fireworks in Caleb’s honor as he was recognized for his accomplishments.






ACE materials were handed out to fans as they stopped by the ACE table to learn more about inhalant abuse prevention and meet Batman.  ACE thanks the Bowie Baysox for their support in spreading the Strike Out Inhalants message!

Take Me Out To The Ballgame!

From The Baltimore Sun in Maryland

ACE in coalition with the Bowie Baysox will host an inhalant abuse awareness night next week, Wednesday July 8 at 7:05 pm at Prince George’s Stadium in Bowie, Maryland.

The Baysox will take on Eastern League rivals, the Harrisburg Senators as both teams muddle through conference standings. Despite facing off seven times previously this season, the final outcome remains hazy as the Baysox have come away with three solid wins and two close victories over the Senators. It clearly is “anybody’s game.”

In addition to being AA Eastern League competitors, match ups between the Baysox and Senators also elicit a much deeper-seated local rivalry. The Baysox an affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles, and the Senators a Washington Nationals affiliate will go head-to-head next Wednesday giving Major League fans yet another opportunity to cheer on their favorite local professional team.

While fans support their teams from the stands, attendants will also have a chance to acquire critical information and resources pertaining to inhalant abuse prevention.

Please join us next Wednesday for a night of fun, entertainment, and inhalant awareness! For more information visit ACE at http://www.inhalant.org/ or the Bowie Baysox at http://www.baysox.com/.

Strike Out Inhalant Abuse- Maryland

ACE is teaming up with the Bowie Baysox, Trenton Thunder, and New Britain Rock Cats to raise awareness about inhalant abuse this summer through a "Strike Out Inhalant Abuse" program!

"Strike Out Inhalant Abuse” is a two-pronged community based program seeking to blend the appeal of America's pastime with the popularity of minor league baseball teams in three local communities. In these three regions ACE is working with local counselors to help them set up in-schools assemblies with appearances from local team mascots and players.

The first Maryland in-school assembly took place at J.C. Parks Elementary School in Indian Head! Thanks to the dedication and planning of Mrs. Dorothy Cole, school counselor, the program was a success! Due to her efforts, ACE and the Bowie Baysox were able to speak with students about the importance of healthy and safe decision making this summer.

If you know an elementary or middle school student in New Jersey, Maryland or Connecticut please urge them to enter into the Strike Out Inhalant Abuse Super Hero Contest!
