Bees Seek Host Families for 2019 Season

The New Britain Bees has announced that the team is looking for host families in the community for players for the upcoming 2019 baseball season.

“Becoming a host family is a great way for fans to connect with the Bees,” said Brad Smith, General Manager of the Bees. “It also allows the members of the team to truly be immersed in the city they represent and play for with a comfortable place to call home for the season.”

The team says that hosting a Bees player, “is a valuable way to provide a player with a home while keeping them involved in the community and also gives you the opportunity to be involved with the Bees on a personal level.”

“The requirements for becoming a host family,” says the team, “include the ability to provide a private bedroom and access to a bathroom, kitchen and washer/dryer. If you wish to include any other amenities for your host player, it is greatly appreciated by the player.”

The team says that benefits provided to host families include,

-10% discount at the Bees Merchandise Shop, B.Hive & Co. 
-Four (4) complimentary tickets to every regular-season home game 
-One (1) Luxury Suite night, which includes 15 tickets (any Monday-Thursday game, based on availability) 
-One (1) parking pass, valid for all regular-season home games and events 
-Four (4) complimentary tickets to all regular-season Bees Special Events 
-Up to four (4) members of each family will be invited to throw out the on-field ceremonial first pitch at a regular-season home game 
-Preferred choice of playoff tickets prior to public sale (all parking passes valid for playoff games)

The Bees say that information about becoming a host family is available by contacting Bret DeRosa at [email protected] or 860-826-2337 x.102.

“For many families,” say the Bees, “hosting a player has made a special impact on their lives as well as their ‘adopted’ family member.”
