SURF TO WEAR THEMED JERSEYS; GOLF TOURNEY NETS OVER $2,000

            Atlantic City, N.J. – The Atlantic City Surf of the Can-Am League have announced further details about “Strike Out Autism Night,” taking place on Saturday, July 26 when the Surf face Quebec. Fifty percent of the proceeds from all advance ticket sales for the game will be donated to two autism-related charities, FACES of Autism and Autism Speaks. Fans buying tickets at the gate will also be given the opportunity to donate to the two charities, and information about autism awareness will be distributed in the concourse throughout the evening.

            In addition, the team will be wearing themed jerseys, sponsored by a friend of the Surf who wishes to remain anonymous. The jerseys are navy blue with a jigsaw puzzle design on the shoulders, symbolizing autism awareness and the complexity of the brain disorder. The jerseys will be auctioned off to fans after the game, with proceeds going to the two charities.

            The Surf also recently raised money for FACES by holding a golf tournament at Harbor Pines Golf Club in Egg Harbor Township, N.J., on Tuesday, May 13. With manager Cecil Fielder, outfielder Clyde Williams and club president Chris Carminucci participating in the event, the club was able to donate over $2,000.

            “We’re thankful to all of our sponsors, donors and players who made our golf tournament successful. The club is looking forward to ‘Strike Out Autism Night’ as well, and it should be a great evening to increase autism awareness,” Carminucci said.

            Based in Ventnor, N.J., FACES (Families for Autistic Children Education and Support) is a non-profit organization dedicated to education and support of children with autism and their families.

            New York City-based Autism Speaks is dedicated to increasing awareness of autism spectrum disorders, to funding research into the causes, prevention, treatments and cure for autism, and to advocating for the needs of affected families.

Shortell struck out 66 hitters while walking only 27 in 100.1 innings of work. It was his third season in Salem, having pitched a total of 103 games with the Avalanche, 69 of them in relief.
