The Chesapeake Bayhawks is giving 18,000 tickets to Anne Arundel County middle school students for the June 16 game in Annapolis.
The pro-lacrosse team will play the Charlotte Hounds at 7:30 p.m. that night at Navy Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.
Chesapeake Bayhawks President Mark Burdett, members of the Hawkettes dance team and mascot Hawkeye will be joined Wednesday by county public schools staff members at Marley Middle School in Glen Burnie to present the tickets. Burdett said the donation is a recognition of students' hard work during the school year.
It is the second year for the giveaway, a partnership between the team and Smoothie King of Severna Park.
