Springfield Falcons, Pride Stores Announce ‘Pump for Pride’

SPRINGFIELD — The Springfield Falcons and Pride Stores have partnered for the second annual “Pump for Pride” on Wednesday, Oct. 22. Falcons players will be at the Pride store on 618 North Main St. in Longmeadow pumping gas for fans from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Players will also be available for autographs and photographs. All tips raised by the players will be donated to the Springfield Falcons Charitable Foundation in support of the Greater Springfield community.

Pride is a locally owned, independent chain of fuel stations and markets that has become known as a destination for coffee, breakfast, and lunch. The latest Pride Stores also include beer and wine, full delis, and café/bakeries.

The Springfield Falcons Charitable Foundation serves as the philanthropic arm of the Springfield Falcons hockey club. The mission of the foundation is to enrich the lives of children and families throughout Greater Springfield by promoting awareness of education, exercise, and health.
