AARP Teams Up with Washington Wild Things Senior Slugger Baseball Program!

AARP Pennsylvania is proud to collaborate with The Washington Wild Things professional baseball team and their 2023 Senior Slugger program which will provide a free ticket to all Wednesday home games for fans 50 years of age and older.

“We are thrilled to sponsor the Washington Wild Things and their Senior Slugger program,” said Bill Johnston-Walsh, AARP Pennsylvania State Director. “It is a home run for older adults looking to stay engaged and energized through sports and community activities.” AARP volunteers will be on-site at games to share information about AARP’s local resources and activities.

The Wild Things have eight Wednesday home games, meaning those fans 50 and older can get up to eight free tickets for themselves, but they must reserve their tickets in advance by visiting https://www.washingtonwildthings.com/community/senior-slugger-program/ or calling the box office at 724-250-9555.

“Its great to see the thousands of fans at the ballpark taking advantage of the Senior Slugger Wednesdays. AARP Pennsylvania is the perfect partner for the program, encouraging social interactions for individuals as they age and sharing their wealth of resources to enhance quality of life,” said president and general manager Tony Buccilli. “We heard so much positive feedback from fans 50 and older who were able to use our games as a way to reconnect with old friends or create new friendships with people they sat next to.”

Wednesday games will start at 6:05 p.m. as well as part of this program. Gates open at 5 p.m.

• May 17 vs New York Boulders
