CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- The Appalachian League announced the Greeneville Flyboys as the recipient of the 2025 Promotional Award. The Promotional Award is given to the club that demonstrated outstanding promotional work during the season.
The Flyboys elevated their promotional calendar during the 2025 season with a broad array of new and exciting promotions that were introduced for the first time. The Flyboys also brought back improved versions of fan favorites such as Flyboys Eras Night 2.0, Margaritaville Night, Pirates and Princess night and the extremely popular Corgis and Coronas. New and improved in-game promotions also proved to be fan favorites.
“Above all things, we strive to bring family fun entertainment to the Greeneville community,” Greeneville Flyboys general manager Brandon Bouschart said. “It is incredibly rewarding to see so many fans come to the ballpark, participating in our various theme nights, and leaving with a smile.”
The Flyboys hosted three specialty jersey nights at Pioneer Park during the season. June 6 was Star Wars night, as the Flyboys wore Star Wars themed jerseys designed by manager Jack Wilson.

The weekend wrapped up with Military Appreciation Day on July 6 where all current and former servicemen and women received one complimentary ticket to the game.
On July 17, the Flyboys gave away the first ever ACE the Mascot bobblehead to the first 500 fans at the ballpark. All 500 bobbleheads were gone within 15 minutes of the gates opening.
