We also want to enforce the value of a cohesive and caring community that has pride in its city’s appearance as well as being a warm and welcoming community for families to be a part of. Baseball has always been a central element in African American communities. In 1946, Cypress Street Park and Kelly Field were elemental in the day-to-day of the Daytona Community and in the integration of baseball. As a partner with the Daytona Tortugas with such a successful launch of the 2022 Barrier Breakers Series and “TheNine” minority inclusion initiative, we are honored to be able to bring members of our community together with the bi-annual AAEA Adopt-A-Highway Community Cleanup that was held March 18, 2023 and now the AAEA Family Fest and Movie Night at the Jack.“ said Leslie Giscombe, Founder, and CEO of the African American Entrepreneurs Association. “This is a great community event and we look forward to the rest of the 2023 Tortugas season!” FREE Admission Ticket: AAEA Family Fest 2023 Tickets, Sun, May 21, 2023 at 2:00 PM | Eventbrite For more day of event details, families can visit https://aaeafamilyfest.com/ To learn more about the AAEA, visit https://aaeassociation.org/ 2023 Tortugas Barrier Breakers Series and “TheNine” minority inclusion initiative Game Ticket links: |
