Rainiers partner with Rebuilding Together South Sound for “Final Stretch”

 

TACOMA, WA (9/23/21) – For every home run the 2021 Triple-A West Champion Tacoma Rainiers hit between September 23 and October 3, Minor League Baseball (MiLB) will donate $50 to Rebuilding Together South Sound. It’s one of 30 partners selected by each Triple-A club during the “Final Stretch” of 10 games to conclude the 2021 season.

The Rainiers begin the Final Stretch Thursday in Texas against the Round Rock Express, before ending the 2021 Triple-A season at home against the Salt Lake Bees, September 29 through October 3 at Cheney Stadium.

Tacoma – hitters of 177 home runs this season in their first 120 games – are looking to help a great local partner by continuing their power surge. On top of the $50 per homer, the team that hits the most homers over their 10-game span will raise an additional $5,000 for their selected charity, also courtesy of MiLB.

Since 2001, Rebuilding Together South Sound has repaired over 1,000 homes and 18 non-profit facilities, reinvesting over $7.8 million into our community. The organization seeks to advance health equity by improving housing outcomes for those in economically distressed communities. Other needs they address include roof repairs and energy-efficiency upgrades.

“Minor League Baseball teams have long been great community partners, and we are pleased to make a donation to each of these local charities on behalf of our Triple-A teams for their performance during the Triple-A Final Stretch,” said Major League Baseball’s Vice President, Minor League Operations and Development, Peter Woodfork. “These charities provide a variety of valuable services to their community, and it is our honor to recognize their efforts.”

Rebuilding Together programs also provide home modifications and repairs in the homes of low-income seniors, people with disabilities and families with children who live in Pierce County and the Cities of Federal Way and Auburn, Washington.

The Rainiers’ participation in the “Homers That Help” drive during the Triple-A Final Stretch is an extension of the BECU “Home Runs for Homes” program, where for every home run that a Rainiers player hit at Cheney Stadium during the 2021 regular season, BECU donated $50 to Rebuilding Together South Sound.

About the Tacoma Rainiers

The Tacoma Rainiers are the Triple-A affiliate of the Seattle Mariners. The Rainiers are a member of Triple-A West. Tacoma has been a Mariners affiliate since establishing the Rainiers moniker in 1995.

Single-game tickets for all remaining 2021 Rainiers home games are now available. Questions regarding season tickets can be directed to [email protected].

Each OKC Dodgers Homer Hit During Final Stretch to Benefit Cleats For Kids

 

OKLAHOMA CITY – Each home run hit by the Oklahoma City Dodgers during Triple-A’s Final Stretch will benefit Cleats For Kids in Oklahoma City thanks to a Minor League Baseball™ initiative called “Homers That Help.”

All 30 Triple-A clubs close their 2021 seasons with a 10-game Final Stretch, including the OKC Dodgers who play five road games against the Las Vegas Aviators starting tonight, and five home games against the El Paso Chihuahuas Wednesday, Sept. 29-Sunday, Oct. 3 at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark.

For each home run hit by Triple-A teams (both at home and on the road) during the Final Stretch, Minor League Baseball will donate $50 per home run to a local 501(c)3 charity selected by the team. The team with the most home runs hit during the 10-game span will generate an extra $5,000 donation for its charity of choice.

“Minor League Baseball teams have long been great community partners, and we are pleased to make a donation to each of these local charities on behalf of our Triple-A teams for their performance during the Triple-A Final Stretch,” Major League Baseball’s Vice President, Minor League Operations and Development, Peter Woodfork said. “These charities provide a variety of valuable services to their community, and it is our honor to recognize their efforts.”

The OKC Dodgers chose to benefit Cleats for Kids (C4K), which provides new and used sports equipment free of charge to youth in need, gathering equipment through community drives and drop-off donation sites. The organization began in 2011 in Oklahoma City and has impacted more than 150,000 kids, partnering with 55 youth organizations and 220 Oklahoma school districts, according to the C4K website.

“Cleats for Kids provides opportunity for our Oklahoma youth to benefit from the transformational power of sport,” Oklahoma City Dodgers President/General Manager Michael Byrnes said. “Purchasing sports gear can be a prohibitive factor that keeps children from participating in youth sports, and Cleats for Kids helps remove that obstacle. We’re hoping for numerous OKC Dodgers home runs over the next 10 games to help further Cleats for Kids’ charitable cause.”

The OKC Dodgers open the 10-game Final Stretch tonight with a five-game road series starting at 9:05 p.m. CT against the Las Vegas Aviators at Las Vegas Ballpark. The Dodgers then close out their 2021 schedule with a five-game home series against the El Paso Chihuahuas starting at 7:05 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 29 at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark. The Dodgers play at 7:05 p.m. next Wednesday-Saturday, wrapping up the Final Stretch as well as the 2021 season at 1:05 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 3 in OKC.

Tickets for OKC Dodgers’ home games are available by visiting okcdodgers.com/tickets. For additional information about the OKC Dodgers, please visit okcdodgers.com or call (405) 218-2182. For more information about Cleats For Kids, please visit cleatsforkids.org.

Tides Announce Triple-A Final Stretch Charity Recipient

 

The Norfolk Tides today announced that they have chosen the Booker T. Washington High School Friends and Alumni Association as their charity to benefit during the Triple-A Final Stretch. For each home run hit by the Tides (home and road games) during the Triple-A Final Stretch, Minor League Baseball will donate $50 per home run to the BTW High School Friends and Alumni Association. The Triple-A team hitting the most home runs over the 10-game span will generate an extra $5,000 donation for their charity.

The Booker T. Washington High School Friends and Alumni Association aims to make substantial contributions to help enhance, supplement and undergird all departmental programs, activities and capital projects of the school. The Foundation recognizes that, because of the historical imbalances of opportunity for many of our school’s families, many, too many of their students face extraordinary financial challenges. The Foundation has provided significant funding and helped defray costs of special testing, music programs, field trips, boys and girls sports equipment and uniforms, books, arts equipment and other required materials, as well as having created opportunities for students to participate in community service.

The Foundation also works closely with the Booker T Washington High School Baseball and Softball teams. In addition, former Negro League player, Sam Allen, is closely associated with the Foundation. The Norfolk native played with the Kansas City Monarchs in 1957, the Raleigh Tigers in 1958 and the Memphis Red Sox in 1959. In 1957, Allen would lead the league in runs scored. He served with the U.S. Army after being drafted in 1960 and for a period he was with the 82nd Airborne Division.

Each team in Triple-A team picked a local 501(c)3 charity to donate to during the Triple-A Final Stretch. “Minor League Baseball teams have long been great community partners, and we are pleased to make a donation to each of these local charities on behalf of our Triple-A teams for their performance during the Triple-A Final Stretch,” said Major League Baseball’s Vice President, Minor League Operations and Development, Peter Woodfork. “These charities provide a variety of valuable services to their community, and it is our honor to recognize their efforts.”

WooSox to Take Part in the Triple-A Final Stretch “Homers That Help” Campaign

Major League Baseball will donate $50 to Worcester’s Why Me & Sherry’s House for every WooSox Home Run hit between Wednesday, September 22 and Sunday, October 3.

 

WORCESTER, MA – The Worcester Red Sox conclude their inaugural season at Polar Park with a five-game homestand against the Rochester Red Wings that begins tomorrow evening on Wednesday, September 22 at 6:35pm. They will be joining all of the Triple-A clubs in the country by taking part in the “Homers That Help” campaign, as Major League Baseball donates $50 for every Home Run to a charity of the Triple-A club’s choice from Wednesday, September 22 through Sunday, October 3.

In honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month the WooSox have selected Why Me & Sherry’s House to be the beneficiary of Major League Baseball’s generosity, and they will receive $50 for every WooSox Home Run hit during this time span. If the WooSox just so happen to lead all of Triple-A in Home Runs during this final stretch, Major League Baseball will donate an additional $5,000 to Why Me & Sherry’s House. Any ties for the overall leader will be broken by the team with the fewest number of at-bats among the teams that tied for the lead.

“We are grateful for Major League Baseball’s generosity and view the Homers that Help campaign as a time to recognize that September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month,” said Club President Dr. Charles A. Steinberg. “These funds will help local Worcester charities, Why Me & Sherry’s House, provide care and comfort to the families whose children are going through the storm. We celebrate their acts, and we thank MLB for providing such meaningful resources that will directly help the families of Worcester.”

Why Me is a Worcester Based non-profit organization created to help Central New England families cope with childhood cancer. WHY ME, which stands for Worcester Help for Youth, Memories Everlasting, has been providing support for families with children fighting cancer since 1985. They will be in attendance with other local non-profits at Polar Park for the club’s first-ever Childhood Cancer Awareness Night on Friday, September 24.

Sherry’s House is Why Me’s eight-bedroom residence in Worcester’s Tatnuck Square that opened in 2004, and serves as a home-away-from-home for families while their child is on active treatment. Additionally, Sherry’s House is proudly home to Why Me’s administrative offices, and hosts many events and activities throughout the year.

“We thank Major League Baseball and the WooSox for selecting our organization to be the recipient of the Homers That Help Campaign during the Triple-A final stretch,” said Danielle Sikonski, Director of Family Services. “This support will help Why Me to continue providing tangible support, financial assistance, fun outings and more to our families who have been affected by childhood cancer. We look forward to being in attendance at Polar Park this Friday for the WooSox’ Childhood Cancer Awareness Night.”

“Minor League Baseball teams have long been great community partners, and we are pleased to make a donation to each of these local charities on behalf of our Triple-A teams for their performance during the Triple-A Final Stretch,” said Major League Baseball’s Vice President, Minor League Operations and Development, Peter Woodfork. “These charities provide a variety of valuable services to their community, and it is our honor to recognize their efforts.”

Shuckers Donate Equipment To Stone County High School

 

Following the conclusion of the 2021 season, the Biloxi Shuckers players collected baseball equipment and apparel that was donated to Stone County High School on Tuesday.

Spearheaded by pitcher Noah Zavolas, the Shuckers’ players collected lightly used cleats, turf shoes, apparel and any other equipment that could be utilized by the Stone County baseball team.

“If it helps even one kid or baseball player continue his career or feel better about his career, then this was a win,” said Zavolas. “Minor League Baseball is here to engage with different baseball programs. With COVID it made it difficult for us to interact with programs and players, but this was something we were able to do and give back in a small way.”

“It helps us even if we can’t use every piece of equipment,” said Stone County Athletic Director Adam Stone. “Our kids are excited. Who doesn’t like to get something donated that you didn’t have to pay for, and mom and dad didn’t have to pay for, that makes what you do a little easier?”

Stone County played for the Mississippi 4A South State Championship in the 2020-21 season, and prior to 2020 Spring Training Zavolas stopped in the Biloxi area and worked out at Stone County, getting to know their players and head coach Sean Miller. With a color scheme that matches the Shuckers, Stone County was a natural fit for the teams’ donation.

“As Pros, a lot of this stuff gets sent to us for free, and you can forget that baseball is an expensive sport if you’re buying all of your own gear,” said Zavolas. “If that pair of cleats has 50 games left in them, let’s get those 50 games out of them.”

“Receiving this donation helps what we’re trying to do, which is just get better,” said Stone. “If you can improve every day then you’re going to be on the right path.”

The 2022 Biloxi Shuckers schedule has been announced and Shuck Nation Memberships, Flex Plans and group outings are now available for the 2022 season. Event spaces at MGM Park can be booked for private events during the offseason by calling (228) 271-3486.
