2nd Annual Ford Family Day 2019
Thanks to the support of the Old Astoria Neighborhood Association, Friends of Whitey Ford Field (FOWFF) is launching a digital marketing campaign to promote its 2nd Annual Ford Family Day at Whitey Ford Field, 26th Avenue, and 2nd Street, June 1st. The group is taking advantage of the LINKNYC kiosks throughout Astoria to boost awareness of the field. Many longtime residents have no idea where Whitey Ford Field is located!
Blair Clancy is the lead organizer of the event in association with Partnership for Parks. The all-volunteer group seeks to bring attention to the field, its planned redevelopment, and is an opportunity for the community to learn about Friends of Whitey Ford Field.
Said Neil Herdan Co-Chair, “we are always looking to advocate for the ballpark. In so doing, we aim to be innovative and adopt cutting edge solutions where ever possible to promote our beloved water-front ballpark.”
Several other events are planned later in the summer and fall.
You can find the digital banner placed on kiosks on Broadway, 31st Avenue, and 30th Avenue.
