The Fort Myers Mighty Mussels are honoring Southwest Florida’s true heroes at First Responders Night, an annual recognition set for April 26 at Hammond Stadium at the Lee Health Sports Complex.
All firefighters, paramedics, EMTs, law enforcement officers, dispatchers, doctors, nurses and other medical personnel, as well as their immediate family members, can receive free tickets to the game. First responders need to show a valid ID at the box office before the game.
“First Responders Night is an annual event that allows our community to celebrate the heroes that support us in good times and in bad,” said Mighty Mussels President Chris Peters. “Too often, we only thank first responders after an emergency or crisis like a hurricane or pandemic, but they are here serving us 24/7, 365 days a year.”
The Mighty Mussels upcoming homestand also features Star Wars Night. Mighty Mussels players will be wearing custom Star Wars jerseys that will be signed and auctioned after the game to support United Way of Lee, Hendry, and Glades.
