Taking family to a Salt Lake Bees baseball game is a way to celebrate summer, and now the team has introduced Bumble & Friends. The new mascot family will help bring the team's youth programs and community initiatives to life while creating new fan experiences at The Ballpark at America First Square in South Jordan.
Joining the beloved Bees mascot, Bumble, are four new friends: Honey, Daysie, Jensen and Swiggy. Together, Bumble & Friends will serve as ambassadors for the Salt Lake Bees, Bees youth programs and community initiatives, creating memorable experiences for fans while inspiring the next generation of young baseball enthusiasts.
"Bumble has been creating lasting memories with Bees fans for years, and we are excited to expand that experience through Bumble & Friends," Kim Brown, director of marketing for the Salt Lake Bees, said in a release. "Each character has a unique personality and story that reflects our community, and together they will help us connect with young fans in new ways at The Ballpark at America First Square."
"A big part of our mission is creating experiences that bring families together and strengthen our connection to the communities we serve," Ashley Havili, vice president of marketing for Miller Sports & Entertainment, said in a company release. "Bumble & Friends gives us an exciting platform to engage with children and families year-round, support our youth initiatives and continue building a fun, welcoming environment for fans across the state."
Bumble & Friends will appear at all Tuesday, Friday and Saturday Bees home games, as well as making year-round appearances at schools, community events, youth programs and service projects across the state. Correlating plushies representing each Bumble & Friends character, as well as Bumble & Friends youth T-shirts, will be available for purchase both online and in the team store.
