The Brooklyn Cyclones will be holding the 10th annual FDNY Night at MCU Park on Friday, July 23 at 6 p.m.  A percentage of ticket sales for the Brooklyn Cyclones vs. the Staten Island Yankees go to support the Uniformed Firefighters Association Scholarship Fund.

Fire Commissioner Salvatore J. Cassano will throw out the first pitch and the FDNY’s newest fireboat, Three Forty Three will also perform a water display.  The FDNY Fire Safety Education Unit will also be on hand to educate the public about the importance of fire safety in its fire safety house. 

All children ages 6-12 will be allowed on the field for the National Anthem before the game.  A fireworks presentation will immediately follow the game.  The Cyclones will raffle off special game worn FDNY jerseys to benefit the FDNY Foundation.
