Why Educators Love It
We Do the
Heavy Lifting.
You're already busy. This program is designed to fit into what you're already doing ... not add to your workload.
📚
Works With Any Books
Students read any four grade-appropriate books. No required titles, no curriculum to change. It fits right alongside what you're already doing in the classroom.
🅾
Completely Free
No cost to the school, the teacher, or the student. We provide all materials including the reading tracker, classroom poster, and information packet.
🏆
Built-In Motivation
A night at the ballpark is a reward students actually get excited about. The four-base structure gives them clear milestones and something to look forward to all year.

For Participating Educators
Your Complimentary
Ticket.
Every teacher and librarian who directly assists with the Reading Program at their school receives one complimentary ticket to their school's assigned game. Here's how it works...
✓ Who Qualifies
One complimentary ticket is provided to each teacher or librarian who directly runs the Reading Program with their students ... not simply every staff member at a participating school.
📅 When You Get It
Educator tickets are delivered via email during the week of your school's assigned game. Please do not request your ticket before that time ... our staff will send it automatically.
📝 How to Claim Your Ticket
Each participating educator needs to fill out a brief form so we can add you to our ticket distribution list for your game night. This ensures your ticket is sent to the right email address at the right time.

⚠ Please Note
Educator tickets are not distributed until game week. Early requests cannot be fulfilled. We appreciate your patience ... and your dedication to this program!

Common Questions
Frequently Asked
Questions.
How much does it cost to participate?
Blowie's All-Star Reading Program is completely free for all teachers and students. The Blowfish provide all required materials.
What if we already have a reading program in place?
Students only need to read four appropriate-level books to hit a home run and complete the program. This can work alongside your existing reading program.
Will our class sit together at the game?
Reading Program tickets are for our General Admission area. We cannot guarantee that classes will sit together. GA seating is first come, first served and includes the left-field bleachers, drink rail, Left-Field Lounge, and Home Run Hill.
Can students upgrade their tickets?
We do not upgrade Reading Program tickets. If you prefer Field Box or Reserved Grandstand seating, single-game tickets are available at $9.50 each on our ticket page.
Can students attend any game?
No. Offers are only valid on your school's assigned game date. Educators are responsible for communicating all information to parents and families about the assigned date.
How does the pregame Reading Parade work?
Students walk on the field from the gate just past the third-base dugout and around to the first-base dugout. Parents may line up with their child and meet them on the other side. Check in at the Fan Services booth on arrival to confirm parade timing.
How does parking work?
Parking is available across the street from Lexington County Baseball Stadium for $3 per vehicle. Lots open at 5:30 PM for a 7:05 PM game.

Completed Reading Logs must be submitted by May 1, 2026 to receive complimentary tickets.
