RICHMOND, Va. -- The annual Puritan Cleaners Coats for Kids campaign has collected and distributed half a million coats and jackets to community members in need since its inception in 1988.
The 2023 campaign officially kicks off in November and on Saturday, November 18, from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m., there will be a Ballpark Warming Party at the Diamond in Richmond.
"The Flying Squirrels and WTVR CBS 6 invite all their friends and fans to donate coats in support of Puritan Cleaners Coats for Kids program," a company spokesperson said. "Come out to the Diamond and enjoy live music from The Hit List, hot dogs, bounce houses, monster trucks, first responder vehicles and more."
