Durham Bulls Community Baseball Game 2026

This event has become a beloved tradition for patients, families, friends and providers across the cleft and craniofacial community.  It’s a chance to meet, reconnect and enjoy a summer night at the ballpark together.

This year, we’ve secured the entire Left Field Patio — still fully in the shade — with plenty of space to relax, mingle, and cheer on the Bulls!  Grab your tickets and join us on the party deck for an unforgettable evening.

Act fast — this event has sold out for the last 3 years.

Kids, siblings included, will receive a commemorative gift to remember the night.  The patio area will feature kids’ activities, a merchandise stand and we always work with the Bulls to coordinate special on-field moments for our amazing patients.

Buffet dinner is included with every ticket.  A cash bar will be available for alcohol purchases. Food service runs for two hours, beginning 30 minutes before the first pitch.

And we’re offering two hotel room blocks for families traveling from out of town.  More details below!

It may be hot during cleft and craniofacial awareness month, but spending an evening surrounded by friends, family, and community always makes it feel lighter and brighter.

Our patio section includes plenty of table seating as well as rows of stadium seats overlooking the field. Guests may enjoy the reserved picnic area from the time gates open until the end of the game.  And stick around for a fantastic fireworks show!
