Evansville Flag Group and Otters to raise money for Marvin Gray tribute
HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) – The Evansville Flag Group and the Evansville Otters will be raising funds to construct a permanent memorial outside of Bosse Field in honor of Flag Chairman Marvin Gray.
Marvin was a regular fixture at Otters and Triplets games for over 50 years, raising the flag before Otters games and manually operating the scoreboard at Bosse Field. In honor of his legacy as a lifelong Evansville Sports fan, the Evansville Flag Group has started a GoFundMe to raise money for a lasting tribute to Marvin nearly a decade since his passing.
The Evansville Otters will wear city flag jerseys on June 14, Flag Day, in his honor and to raise awareness of the GoFundMe campaign for his memorial. After the game, fans will be able to see a fireworks display in celebration of Marvin's life.
An auction will be held for fans to bid on the jerseys won by the Otters during the Flag Day game. Officials say proceeds from the auction will go towards supporting Otter's baseball, which was a cause Marvin championed during his lifetime.
