EMPIRE ANGEL JANET WALERSTEIN

(Central Islip, N.Y., June 13, 2010) – At Sunday’s game, Janet Walerstein was recognized as the second “Empire Angel” of the 2010 season. Janet received a plaque, hat, t-shirt, and threw out the ceremonial first pitch. As Executive Director of the Child Care Council of Suffolk, Janet has made the agency a model in New York State for Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies, assisting parents searching for child care to find appropriate options. Each year more than 10,000 children, parents and child care providers receive support and guidance from the Council. Janet is a visionary leader for Suffolk County and has a passion for her cause, fearlessly embracing the fight to see her vision come true. For that reason, and many more, Janet Walerstein is a local hero.

The Long Island Ducks have teamed up with Empire BlueCross BlueShield to present the "Empire Angels" program. This program has been designed to recognize those who give back to their community and are selfless in helping others. Those selected as the "Empire Angel" will receive four tickets to the game, be recognized during a pre-game on-field ceremony, and throw out the ceremonial first pitch. Empire BlueCross BlueShield and the Ducks will honor an "Empire Angel" at home games on Friday, July 16th and Friday, August 6th, with the final "Empire Angel" recognition on Labor Day, Monday, September 6th, when the Ducks play the Bridgeport Bluefish at 6:35 P.M.

The Long Island Ducks play their home games at Suffolk County Sports Park and are in their 11^th season of play.Individual game tickets for the Ducks 2010 season are on sale now.
