RICHMOND, Va. -- More than 1,000 coats were donated at the Puritan Cleaners Coats for Kids' Ballpark Warming Party Saturday at the Diamond.
Folks dropped off gently used or new coats and stuck around to enjoy hot dogs and burgers, bounce houses, monster trucks and first responder vehicles. There was also two helicopters at the event for the first time.
Puritan Cleaners Vice President Norman Way said children's coats are what is most needed.
"We've got lots of folks who need to stay warm this winter," Way said.
Donations can also be dropped off at any of Puritan Cleaners' 14 locations.
Puritan Cleaners clean and repair each donated coat before delivering them to the Salvation Army to be distributed to area families this holiday season.
The Flying Squirrels and WTVR CBS 6 staffers were at the event.
Thanks to all who SHARED on social media to SPREAD the WORD!
