First flagged by our friend Ben Hill, here is another great community idea while we are on lockdown.
The Springfield Cardinals are reaching out for nominations for their community card collection giveaway. Nominations for the front lines of the Covid-19 responses like Nurses, Doctors, Police and Public Transit Workers.
Many teams use this trading card concept for Military Appreciation Nights (see PULSE: Military Appreciation). It is a fabulous way to honor those people and shine a spotlight on their sacrifices for the greater good.
But with no games and thus no giveaways…the teams is creating these cards on-line and sharing socially. AWESOME.
Scroll down for some examples.
Reply with a photo of your 𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝘼𝙡𝙡-𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙧, and we'll put them on a baseball card!
Healthcare workers, grocers, pharmacists, policemen & firefighters, public transit workers, teachers and beyond.
Right now, the helpers are our heroes. Let's see their photos! pic.twitter.com/LethNYGKve
