Dickies® Brand And Star Pitcher R.A. Dickey Celebrate Iconic Dad Memory: Playing Catch

FORT WORTH, Texas, June 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- It's a treasured childhood memory: playing catch with dad. With Father's Day approaching, star-pitcher R.A. Dickey and the Dickies workwear brand are teaming up to reward hard working guys on their most important job – being a dad. Now through June 21, Dickies is making a call to the backyard bullpen to share favorite moments showing dad and kids playing catch for a chance to win a daily prize and a grand prize of $5,000.

For celebrated pitcher R.A. Dickey, throwing and catching are taken seriously both on and off-the-field. The strong work ethic he applies to baseball is even more apparent in his job as a parent.

"I couldn't wait until the kids were old enough to play catch – it's a special activity that every dad looks forward to whether you do it for a living or not," said Dickey. "Dickies as a brand has always recognized and supported hard work and dedication no matter the task – including the most rewarding job of all, being a dad."

Together, they are asking people to submit a favorite photo or memory that captures the timeless and cherished tradition of dad playing catch with the kids. Visit Dickies.com/playcatch to enter or use #DickiesCatch on Twitter or Instagram to share your memories. In addition, daily winners will win a Dickies Short Sleeve Cooling Tee and one lucky winner will win $5,000 and Dickies gear to build even more memorable experiences on and off the field – be it a family vacation, going to baseball games, or something else.

For nearly a century, Dickies has outfitted and supported workers to help them get the job done right on and off the clock. Dickies offers durable workwear like its Cooling Tee and Performance Flat Front Shorts that provides all-day comfort and quality at an unmatched value.
