New York Yankees to hold 18th annual Holiday Food Drive on Dec. 14

Joe Girardi and Robinson Cano to help collect items

The New York Yankees will continue another great tradition this holiday season with the 18th annual Yankees Holiday Food Drive, presented by White Rose Foods. On Wednesday, December 14, between 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. at Gate 2 at Yankee Stadium (corner of 164th Street and Jerome Ave.), any fan bringing at least 30 pounds of non-perishable food will receive a voucher good for two (2) complimentary Grandstand or Bleachers tickets or two (2) half-price tickets in select general seating areas* to one of 22 designated games during the 2012 regular season.**

Joe Girardi (arriving at approximately 10:00 a.m.) and Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano (arrival time between 11:00 a.m. and noon) will be on hand to assist in collecting food items. The Yankees, in conjunction with Bronx clergy, will distribute the food throughout the Bronx to those in need.
