All proceeds benefit the the Florida Dream Center Adopt-a-Block programs.

TAMPA BAY – Tickets are on sale now for Saturday’s (Aug, 20) 2017 Rock-the-Block with the Rays.

This is the second year for the event, which will be 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Rays Club, Tropicana Field, 1 Tropicana Drive in St. Petersburg.

The event, billed as an “exclusive Rays experience” will benefit the Florida Dream Center’s Adopt-a-Block programs. Adopt-a-Block reaches out to at-risk areas within Pinellas County, adopting specific communities in need of assistance. Teams of volunteers enter the community on Saturdays to provide nearly anything the community is in need of including street clean-up, home repairs, lawn maintenance, and a host of other services. More than 100 volunteers are part of the program, with dozens entering the community every Saturday, making long-term, life-changing improvements to the communities that need it most.

Adopt-a-Block has successfully served in these communities since November of 2014 to bring food, clothing, hygiene, social service assistance, human service advocacy, yard-work and minor home repairs to poverty stricken households.

Event goers at Rock-the-Block will learn about community needs, enjoy delicious food only the Rays Centerplate team can provide, bid on exciting silent auction items provided by supportive organizations such as Kendra Scott, and spend some time with community leaders, Rays players and their wives. Don’t miss out on a chance to join Kevin Kiermaier, Brad Boxberger, Steve Souza Jr. and others at this event.

Tickets are $125 and 100 percent of the proceeds will go to the Adopt-a-Block programs.
