Frisco RoughRiders Host March Gladness Clothing Drive Benefiting Frisco Family Services

The Frisco RoughRiders and the RoughRiders Foundation launched the March Gladness Clothing Drive presented by CoServ on March 9, collecting donated goods at Riders Field through March 20 to benefit Frisco Family Services.

Donation bins are set up in the lobby of the RoughRiders administrative office at Riders Field, where residents can drop off spring and summer decor, home goods, shoes, and accessories. The team is particularly seeking clothing items including children's clothes, blankets, coats, sneakers, sheets, linens, and comforters. For larger contributions, furniture donations can be scheduled for pickup at friscoresale.org rather than brought to the bins.

General Manager Scott Burchett framed the drive as an extension of the organization's ongoing commitment to the region. "We are excited to host March Gladness once again this year," Burchett said. "CoServ and the Riders share the community-based ideals and we are always honored to do our part to help the North Texas area. We are always so incredibly honored at the continued generosity of our staff and fans to give back to the community every year."

Anyone who donates before the March 20 deadline is eligible for a Buy One, Get One ticket offer for Opening Week. Additional details on redeeming that offer are available at the RoughRiders administrative office.

The RoughRiders are the Double-A affiliate of the Texas Rangers, who won the 2023 World Series, and claimed the Texas League championship themselves in 2022. The franchise, purchased in August 2014 by an ownership group led by Chuck Greenberg, has invested more than $8 million in facility improvements at Riders Field over the past decade, adding amenities that include the Bull Moose Saloon, the Bullpen Bar, and the Lazy River, billed as the world's largest water feature in a sports facility.

With five days remaining in the drive, the window to donate and support Frisco Family Services closes March 20.
