What could be better than combining America’s favorite pastime with one of our community’s most important causes? This Independence Day weekend, Pensacola Habitat for Humanity is bringing together baseball, fireworks, and affordable homeownership for an unforgettable night at Blue Wahoos Stadium.
On Thursday, July 3, the annual Pensacola Habitat for Humanity Takeover Night promises to be bigger and better than ever. This isn’t just another baseball game – it’s a community celebration that makes a real difference in people’s lives.
More Than Just Baseball
The partnership between Pensacola Habitat for Humanity and the Blue Wahoos has become something truly special. Habitat volunteers will be everywhere at the stadium – manning concession stands, selling 50/50 tickets, participating in on-field activities, and spreading joy with free giveaways at the gate. It’s a perfect example of how organizations can work together to strengthen our community.
Adding to the patriotic atmosphere, the Blue Wahoos will don special Navy tribute jerseys, honoring the original uniforms of the United States Navy. After the final out, fans will be treated to a spectacular fireworks display that’s sure to light up the Pensacola sky.
“This amazing night is a perfect combination of America’s pastime, some Fourth of July fun and one of the most exciting fundraisers in our community,” says Ben Boynton, Pensacola Habitat’s Communications Manager. “We think we’ll really knock it out of the park while raising money for our mission.”
Making Every Dollar Count
What makes this event even more meaningful is knowing that every ticket purchased through Pensacola Habitat for Humanity goes directly toward their mission of providing affordable homeownership. The funds raised support the Women Build campaign, which has already generated over $135,000 in donations since 2023 through the ongoing partnership with the Blue Wahoos and RS3 Strategic Hospitality.
Whether you’re a baseball fan, love fireworks, or simply want to support affordable housing in our community, Takeover Night offers something for everyone. It’s a chance to enjoy a great evening out while making a tangible impact on families who dream of homeownership.
