Residents and die-hard baseball fans alike from three major U.S. cities -- Pittsburgh, St. Louis and Los Angeles -- can compete in the Hefty® Flip Cup Challenge throughout the months of June and July. Winning teams from each city will be rewarded a chance to participate in the all-expense paid trip to the Hefty® Flip Cup Finals in Miami during the Midsummer Classic. These exciting events reflect the spirit of fun and camaraderie symbolized by Hefty® Party Cups.

"In 2016 Hefty® Party Cups set the world record by hosting the worlds largest flip cup game in Chicago," said Carlee Bilello, Senior Marketing Communications Manager, Hefty® Tableware. "We aim to build on that success by bringing the flip cup tournament to more cities across the U.S., and inviting more fans to Party Hefty®."

Hefty® Party Cups will kick off the multi-city tournament on Saturday, June 17 at PNC Park in Pittsburgh with Steel City's very own Roberto Clemente Award Winning first baseman, Kevin Young, giving fans a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet the former professional baseball player. Following the tournament's kickoff, additional pop-up flip cup games will take place on Saturday, June 24, at Ballpark Village in St. Louis with an appearance by former World Series champion Brad Thompson, as well as a game on Saturday, July 1 in Anaheim with a visit from Angels Hall of Famer Chuck Finley.

"Being a part of the Hefty Flip Cup Challenge is an exciting opportunity to provide fans with some celebratory summer fun," said Chuck Finley, former left-hander for the Anaheim Angels and 2009 Angels Hall of Fame inductee. "It's always great to come back to the stadium, especially when I get the chance to interact with loyal fans."
