League Overview
For nearly a decade, the New York-Penn League Charitable Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, has been focused on establishing strong communities outside of the ballparks. Since 2003, the NYPL Charitable Foundation encourages clubs to support the surrounding communities through staff volunteering, fundraising and awareness events, and dontations to various organizations. Both the time and money given to the community organizations is always well received. In 2012, the NYPL Charitable Foundation donated over $1.35 million to non-profits, charities, education, and community organizations. The communities have responded to the efforts of the clubs by supporting their home team and establishing building stronger relationships around the game of baseball. The 2012 NYPL Annual awards recognize teams and individuals that show exceptional effort to create the best baseball atmosphere for fans and communities. The Hudson Valley Renegades won the Vincent McNamara Outstanding Club Award awarded to the club for extensive community and fan involvement.

The Renegares also began a new program in 2012, BaseBald, benefiting the St. Baldricks Foundations. Renegades players & front office staff raised money for childhood cancer research by shaving their heads to raise awareness to the St. Baldtricks Foundations efforts. More than 1,200 organizations benefited from charitable work of all fourteen NYPL clubs in 2012.

Community Programs & Promotions

Ripken Outreach & Community Service R.O.C.S.
The Ripken Outreach and Community Service (R.O.C.S.) program is an internal program that the Ripken organization created to gets its employees out in the community on a more regular basis to support those less fortunate in our area. At least once a month there was an opportunity for the staff to participate or volunteer as a company in a community project, activity, fundraiser or drive. Below were the monthly events which Ironbirds staff participated:
January-Maryland State Police Polar Bear Plunge benefiting Special Olympics Maryland: Seven of our staff members participated in the Maryland State Police Polar Bear Plunge, which benefits Special Olympics Maryland. The thousands of children and adults with intellectual disabilities experience the life-changing benefits of participating in the organizations year round training and competition programsall at no cost to themselves or their families. The Polar Bear Plunge is sponsored by the Maryland State Police. The IronBirds helped to raise $1,000 for the cause! The Plunge has participants pledge a $50 donation to take a quick swim in Chesapeake Bay in mid-January.
February-Reading Night at Edgewood Elementary:
Fifteen volunteers from the IronBirds and Ripken Baseball traveled to Edgewood Elementary (a Title-1 school) to participate in their reading night. Together with the teachers of the school we served dinner to the parents and kids and then manned reading tables presenting fun and educational activities for the kids. The activities showed the kids the value and enjoyment of reading.
March-Shoe Drive for Sundis Gift and Eagle Wing Ministries:

The IronBirds partnered with Sundis Gift and Eagle Wing Ministries for a shoe drive. Sundis Gift is an organization that collects black shoes (any type, new or used, adult or children) to donate to children in need in Kenya. One of our season ticket holders took the shoes with him on a visit to Africa to present to the children. Eagle Wing Ministries is a non-profit who purchases and sells shoes to raise money to build fresh water wells and fish ponds in Kenya. The money raised from the fundraiser helped to build drilling rigs that will drill for fresh water in Kenya, Haiti, and other places around the world and provide clean drinking water for many villages and towns. The IronBirds donated over 40 pairs of new or slightly used shoes for these great causes!
April-Stay In School Pep Rally for Garrett Heights Elementary & Middle School: Staff from Ripken Baseball and the IronBirds went to Garrett Heights Elementary and Middle School in
Baltimore to put on a stay in school pep rally. This was a first for the school and since it is a Title-1 school they are faced with few resources, low morale and a high drop-out percentage. The Ripken staff helped to get the kids pumped up and excited for the remainder of the school year.
May-Clean-Up Day at Aberdeen High School:
IronBirds and Ripken Baseball staff members went to the local Aberdeen High School for a much needed clean-up day. While at the high school the staff performed tasks such as weeding, planting, trash pick-up and painting alongside city employees and students. This was a great opportunity to give back to the community that has given so much to the Ripken organization.

August-School Supply Drive for Edgewood Elementary:
The IronBirds returned to Edgewood Elementary to help the Title-1 School with a School Supply Drive.

October-Race for the Cure Maryland 5k Run/Walk benefiting Susan G. Koleman Foundation:
We paired up with Kenwood High School for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure Maryland 5K run/walk. Together with Kenwood High School we helped to raise over $7,000 for breast cancer research/awareness. We had five staff members take part in the race that day.
November-Festival of Trees benefiting Kennedy Krieger Institute: For the second year in a row Ripken Baseball participated in the Festival of Trees for the Kennedy Krieger
Institute. The Kennedy Krieger Institute is a comprehensive resource for children with disorders of the brain, spinal cord, and musculoskeletal system. Its a holiday themed event with an appearance by Santa, local music and entertainment, beautifully decorated trees, wreaths, gingerbread houses, shopping, kids activities, games and craft areas. Last years event attracted nearly 45,000 visitors and the event raised more than a million dollars for patient programs and research. Our tree sold for the maximum price at auction and raised $500 for the Institute.
December-Food Drive benefiting Hartford County Food Bank: We partnered with Jim Ullrich, a local business owner in Harford County, for a yearly food drive. Over the
past couple of years Jim has collected more than five tons of food and non-perishable donations for the needy. We pitted internal departments against each other to drive donations to new heights through heated competition.

Walk MS
National Multiple Sclerosis Society
On April 29th, Ripken Baseball teamed up with the National Multiple Sclerosis Society to host their annual 5K Walk/Run on the complex. The event had over 500 participants who came out that day to support the cause. Walk MS is the rallying point, a time and place for everyone to stand together and be together to help raise critical funds that support cutting-edge research, drive change though advocacy, facilitate professional education and provide programs and services to help people with MS move their lives forward. The IronBirds hosted a charitable home run derby at Ripken Stadium. It was a light-hearted and fun way to raise awareness and money for an important local cause. Like many communities across America, the city of Aberdeen is doing what it can to fight homelessness. In support of that mission, we shared our ballpark with Harford Family House for their annual Home Runs for the Homeless event. Teams of generous donors took the field, shagging fly balls and swinging for the fences. Members of the winning team each received a bat signed by Cal Ripken Jr. The runners up won tickets to see the Orioles in action and all participants received a t-shirt, team photo and a memorable day at Ripken Stadium. The event raised $25,000 all of which will stay in Harford County, directly supporting homeless families with children in our area. On June 3rd, 2012, the IronBirds opened Ripken Stadium for a celebrity charity softball game that featured players from the Baltimore Ravens. With a huge attendance, almost doubling the attendance from the previous year, the event raised over $80,000 for the Lardarius Webb Foundation. The purpose of the Foundation is to raise and distribute funds to provide aid to underprivileged children and their families.

This year, the Mets family lost a long-time member with the passing of beloved Hall of Fame catcher and Mets icon, Gary Carter, who died on February 16th after a courageous battle with brain cancer. On June 29th, the Cyclones wore special orange and blue jerseys with a Kid 8 memorial patch on the right sleeve. These special jerseys were raffled off throughout the game with a portion of the proceeds going to the Gary Carter Foundation. Local troops of Girl Scouts were given the opportunity after a regular season game to sleep on the field. Scouts set up their tents and sleeping bags and watched movies on the video board. Each scout that participated earned a special Girl Scout/Brooklyn Cyclone patch. Green-Wood Cemetery,founded in 1838, is recognized as one of Brooklyns National Historic Landmarks for its national significance in art, architecture, landscaping and history. On August 20th of this year the cemetery was vandalized, causing more than $100,000 in damage. The Cyclones offered their help by inviting the cemetery to run our Launch-a- Ball game as well as a 50/50 raffle during a Cyclones home game to raise funds for repairs. During several games this season the Brooklyn Cyclones raffled jerseys directly off the players backs. Money raised was used in our STRIKE Program to help fund local little leagues and other worthy charitable organizations. In this stressful economic environment the Brooklyn Cyclones opened their doors to businesses such as Luna Park, the Brooklyn Aquarium, and Estella Development for job/career fairs.

Giving Back Week

Local Charities
During the 2012 season, the Brooklyn Cyclones declared three home games, from August 21st to August 23rd, as Giving Back Week. Cyclones fans used the code DONATE when purchasing $16 field box tickets via phone or Internet and $5 from each seat sold was donated to local charities. In addition, all revenue from in-house initiatives, such as inflatable games, launch-a-ball, and jersey auctions went towards this worthwhile program.
History of Baseball Assembly Program

Local Area Schools
In 2012, the Cyclones were fortunate enough to go directly into local schools to teach students about the History of Baseball and the borough of Brooklyn. Our very own on field personality King Henry personally visited over 125 schools, giving a FREE assembly and magic show to over 41,000 students. Schools that took on the Cyclones FUNdraiser program also used these assemblies as a tool to motivate students to continue their efforts selling tickets and raising money for the school.

Night of Champions
Brooklyn High Schools
On June 25th, the Cyclones hosted the first ever Night of Champions at MCU Park. Local Brooklyn High School Champions were invited to the game, free of charge, to be honored in an on field pre-game ceremony. David Diehl, of the 2012 Super Bowl Champion New York Giants, was on hand to throw out a first pitch, meet with our local champions, and sign autographs for the first 200 fans that made a $10 donation to the Brooklyn Cyclones S.T.R.I.K.E. foundation. The Cyclones and concession provider, Aramark, teamed up with Rock & Wrap It Up to help fight hunger in the Brooklyn community. Following home games, the Aramark staff arranges to have concession food that was prepared but not served, recovered and delivered to local food shelters. Within the past three seasons, the Cyclones donated nearly 4,000 lbs. of food. Every little leaguer dreams of running onto a professional field one day -- and now they can! The Cyclones invited groups of youth baseball, softball, and little league teams -- in uniform -- onto the field to stand side-by-side with the pros for the National Anthem during home games.

The agenda of Batter Up is to encourage Better Attendance & Academics, Teach Teamwork, Excellence & Responsibility while helping students to Understand their full Potential. Schools determine which students have shown the most improvement throughout the school year, with the selected students being honored by the Cyclones. The most improved received four (4) tickets to a Brooklyn Cyclones game for the student and their family where they were honored on the field. We hope that the knowledge that their efforts will not only reward them, but their loved ones as well, will be a strong motivator. In 2012, we had over 150 kids and their families from 10 different schools. The Cyclones School Fundraising Program was designed to help raise much needed funds for individual schools and youth sport teams throughout Brooklyn. The schools and organizations were able to purchase significantly discounted tickets to sell for a one-of-a-kind group outing at a Cyclones game. Depending on amount of tickets sold schools were given money back from the Cyclones to help fund school programs. Students also had the ability to earn individual prizes by reaching certain selling plateaus. Since the programs inception in 2006, 96 NYC public schools and local organizations participated and raised a total of $105,236 for their organizations. This past year alone the School FUNdraising program raised over $40,000 for over 40 different schools.

Sneaker Drive
Soles 4 Shoes
Those who attended the Cyclones game on Thursday, August 23 were asked to bring gently worn pairs of sneakers or shoes to be donated to the Soles 4 Souls initiative. S4S is responsible for delivering over 19 millions pairs of shoes in over 125 countries both for crisis relief and to support efforts to eradicate poverty. Steven St. Bernard, a New York City bus driver and quick-acting passerby, caught and likely saved the life of a 7-year-old girl who fell three stories from an air conditioning unit outside a Brooklyn building. In the process St. Bernard suffered a torn tendon in his arm. To show appreciation for local heroes St. Bernard was invited to throw out a first pitch before a Brooklyn Cyclones home game. The hero was also awarded a $1,000 savings bond for his daughters education. The STRIKE program is geared toward donating money back to local little leagues. Since its inception nearly $60,000 worth of money and equipment have been donated to needy youth league teams. Of the 15 Little Leagues S.T.R.I.K.E. has supported, $16,500 has been donated for scholarships.

Operation: Blessing
Victims of Hurricane Sandy
The Brooklyn Cyclones partnered with Operation Blessing to go into homes that were devastated by the recent hurricane. Cyclones employees got their hands dirty helping discard compromised items from Brooklyn residents homes. Operation: Blessing went into the most damaged areas of the borough and connected volunteers with families that were in need. Sandy the Seagull and PeeWee, our beloved mascots, have been seen all over Brooklyn, Long Island, Manhattan and Queens. From walking against numerous diseases or in memory of some amazing people to visiting local hospitals and schools Sandy and PeeWee are easily recognizable faces within the community. The Cyclones work with various organizations by donating tickets to games. Nearly 10,000 tickets were donated in 2012 to groups in the area equaling nearly $80,000. These tickets were either used by the group members to attend a game together, or used for fundraising purposes at organizational functions and raffles. On Wednesday, June 27, the Brooklyn Cyclones, WWE, and The Creative Coalition joined up for Anti-Bullying Night at MCU Park. As fans came in through the front gates they were encouraged to sign our giant Be A Star poster signifying their pledge toward anti-bullying. The game then started with an Anti-Bullying rally on the field featuring Sandy the Seagull and WWE superstars David Otunga,Zack Ryder, Natalya and Lilian Garcia. Fans were then encouraged to take the Be A Star pledge through social media, online or at the ball park. The WWE stars remained at the stadium after the pledge to sign autographs for lucky Cyclones fans.

Connecticut Tigers
Dodd Stadium - Norwich, CT MLB Affiliate: Detroit Tigers Years in the NYPL: 2010-Present 2012 Attendance: 58,086
Charitable Summary
The Connecticut Tigers continued their goal of forging a lasting bond with the Southeastern Connecticut community during the 2012 season. Over 150 events were held at Dodd Stadium during the calendar year. A major goal of the past two years has been to turn the stadium into a community destination for much more than just Minor League Baseball. Over 50 high school and college baseball games and A Relay For Life event are just some examples of how our venue benefited the community this year. During 2012, the Tigers made over 300 gift-in-kind donations to non-profit organizations and provided the opportunity for countless groups and individuals to enjoy a baseball game that otherwise may not have been able to do so. The Tigers were able to more than double their community contributions for the second straight season. This was in large part due to the addition of many non-baseball or game-night events that were tied to a charitable organization. On an individual basis, the Tigers front office staff, players, coaches, and mascots all donated their time to various causes throughout 2012. Speaking engagements, community appearances, job shadow opportunities, and baseball clinics were some of the ways their time was donated to help cement the foundation of the franchise in Southeastern Connecticut. In November of 2012 VP/General Manager C.J. Knudsen was selected to be honored as a member of the first annual Southeastern CT 40 Under 40 Awards. The honorees were selected for making a positive contribution to the community and the lives of fellow citizens. All honorees have consistently demonstrated excellence in their profession, as well as leadership, commitment, and service to the region. The awards were presented by the Greater Mystic Chamber of Commerce, Greater Westerly-Pawcatuck Area Chamber of Commerce, the Greater Norwich Area Chamber of Commerce and The Day newspaper.

At the event, teams of people camped out overnight and took turns walking or running around the warning track at Dodd Stadium.

Bicycle and Donation Drive

Bikes for Kids
On Saturday, July 21st, Bikes For Kids was on hand to accept donations of used bikes, new equipment, and monetary donations. The goal of the organization is provide bikes and equipment to those less fortune, who may otherwise be unable to own a bike. The Founder of the organization Chuck Graeb felt that every child should have have the opportunity to own a bicycle at least once in their life. The Connecticut Tigers partnered with the CT Sports Foundation throughout 2012 in various ways. A Wishing Well was installed on the concourse, where fans were encouraged to deposit their spare change at each home game. A video message from Jim Leyland, who is a large supporter of the cause, also encouraged fans to give to the foundation via mobile donations. The foundation also helped to bring American Idol contestant and CT resident Gabbi Carrubba to Dodd Stadium to perform the National Anthem, meet fans and sign autographs, and help support the cause. The CT Sports Foundation is aimed at helping the lives of those with cancer.

Cop on Top
Special Olympics
For the second straight year, the CT Tigers hosted the Special Olympics CT Cop on Top event.

SOCT staff was positioned just under the police officer on the concourse collecting donations and a bucket was lowered to fans below as well. On Saturday afternoon, the SOCT held a Car Cruise in the parking lot to help attract fans during the day to further collect funds to benefit the cause. Despite inclement weather, the fundraising goal was within sight and culminated with some representatives from the Special Olympics participating in on-field pre-game activities to thank the fans for their contributions! After the conclusion of the 2012 season, the Tigers donated the majority of all food product left over from the food and beverage operation to St. Vincent de Paul Place, a soup kitchen and food pantry located here in Norwich. The Connecticut Tigers teamed up with UCP of Eastern CT for a ticket fundraiser to help raise funds to make a former local high school baseball coachs home more handicapped accessible. Three former players and current local business owners worked together to put together funds to help the beloved former coach pay for improvements that will help him become more independent in his own home.

Lowell Spinners
Edward A. LaLacheur Park - Lowell, MA MLB Affiliate: Boston Red Sox Years in the NYPL: 1996-Present 2012 Attendance: 168,239
Charitable Summary
The Lowell Spinners take pride in being the Merrimack Valleys team and an active member of the surrounding community. Oftentimes, the team chooses to be involved in activities as silent partners. It is important for us to support various causes in the area while keeping a modest profile. There are, however, a few causes with which we promote our involvement. On a personal level, our front office members volunteer time in causes including the Lowell General Hospital Cancer Walk, Special Olympics, the Boys and Girls Club, March of Dimes, The Paul Center and Cystic Fibrosis/Cerebral Palsy Research. The Spinners also have made substantial inroads raising funds for the Joann Weber Charitable Fund, founded in 2007 by Spinners owner Drew Weber in memory of his wife after a courageous three-year battle with pancreatic cancer. Historically the organization has had a number of different charitable partnerships, beginning in 1998 with the Greater Lowell Chamber of Commerce and their annual scholarship awards. Thousands of dollars are given away and the winners were announced at a special pre-game ceremony at LeLacheur Park. In 1999 the concept of Spinners Charities was born, becoming a vital mechanism for the organization to quietly donate funds to worthy causes in our community while keeping a low profile. When you attend a Spinners game, youll hear birthday announcements and special welcomes. For each fan-requested announcement, $10 is donated towards Spinners Charities, money which goes directly back into the Merrimack Valley community. Be it by dedicating a season to a particular charity, or taking an open approach and including as many charitable partners as possible throughout the year, the Spinners organization has a nightly charity tie-in for nearly every game or event at LeLacheur Park. During the 2012 season, the Spinners escalated our community involvement through a brand new ticket fundraising program, while making a record number of community appearances and mascot appearances. In addition, the team re-developed a reading program to promote reading at the elementary school level, reaching over 100 different schools within and beyond the Merrimack Valley. Furthermore, the club hosted the first ever Lowell Spinners Job Fair with over 60 employers actively seeking to hire new employees participating in a landmark event at LeLacheur Park. Overall, the organization returned well over $30,000 to the community with further planning ahead for the winter.

Inhalant Abuse Awareness Night
Alliance for Consumer Education
The Spinners teamed with ACE, the Alliance for Consumer Education, for Inhalant Abuse Awareness Night at LeLacheur Park in 2012.

Bullseye Bounce
childrens Hospital Boston
Through the teams partnership with metroPCS, the Spinners were able to raise well over $2,000 for Childrens Hospital Boston and Milagros Para Los Ninos through Bulls-Eye Bounce following a trio of Spinners games. Balls were sold at 3 for $5 with prizes being donated by area business.
Spinners Library Pass

Local Libraries
In an effort to continue our partnership with local libraries, the Spinners unveiled a Library Pass for the 2012 season. Participating libraries have a dated voucher for each Spinners home games which allows patrons to purchase up to six reserved tickets for $18 ($3/ticket). Vouchers may be picked up at your local library and must be presented at the ticket office on the day of the game in order to receive the discount. The Spinners partnered with FOSEK, Friends of Special Education Kids, for a special day at the park in the 2012. Tied to the teams annual Star Wars Day, the team received a donation of toys from HASBRO which were used in a raffle throughout the game. FOSEK was able to raise over $1,000 through the raffle in addition to creating awareness for the charity throughout the day. The day kicked off with the athletes and their helpers playing a game on the field before the game, with the athletes then taking the field with the Spinners players for the National Anthem. The Spinners honored all our local heroes (First Responders, Military, Teachers) by selecting 20 local heroes to make a mad dash for cash in our $1,000 Money Drop following our July 30 game. Each hero armed only with a shopping bag dashed for cash as $1,000 was dropped from a helicopter over the field at LeLacheur.

Heroes Among Us
Military Veterans
Sponsored by Hanscom Federal Credit Union, the Heroes Among Us program allowed us to truly salute the service of a service member and his or her family. Originally slated for just Saturday home games, so many worthy submissions were received that the program was expanded to two additional dates. Each honoree was welcomed into the park early for a private behind the scenes tour, meeting the team in the clubhouse and taking batting practice with the team in their own Spinners jersey. After a heartwarming introduction, each threw a ceremonial first pitch before enjoying the game with their family from a luxury suite.

POW/MIA Seat Dedication
POW/MIA - Rolling Thunder
The Spinners will forever have one seat unoccupied for each and every LeLacheur Park event as the team dedicated to the 92,000 American soldiers who have not returned home in the first ever ceremony of its kind.
Lowell Spinners Reading Program

Local Schools
The Spinners reformulated their reading program in 2012, using tickets as a driver to promote reading in our community elementary schools. The program kicked off with a mascot appearance at an assembly followed by a series of rewards for books read (folder, pencil kit, Spinners Tickets). In all the Spinners partnered with over 100 local schools to promote childhood literacy. In partnership with TD Bank, the Spinners once again saluted the athletes and volunteers of the Special Olympics. Athletes signed autographs on the concourse for a donation to the Special Olympics, raising over $500 during the game.

Rabs County Lanes benefiting Special Olympics:
On Wednesday, August 22nd, Scooter and the Staten Island Yankees took a ride to Rabs Country Lanes to challenge the On Your Mark Special Olympics group to a few games of bowling! After their shoes were rented and the bowling balls were picked out their games faces went on. The Staten Island Yankees players were impressed by the amount of strikes, turkeys, and spares, the On Your Mark group put on the scoreboard. While Scooter and Red werent as competitive, they were able to throw the ball a few times with bumpers of course! Smiles lit up the lanes from all teams! Frank Wilkinson, one of the Owner/Managers of Rabs said It looks like everyone is having a great time and were happy to help, we love this!

They shot some hoops, ate some pizza, and played some laser tag! At the end of the day, everyone was exhausted, but for good reasons. The children and players left excited and ready to go back. The event was a huge success and we cant wait to go back next year!
VA Hospital Visits benefiting VA Hospital in Brooklyn:
During Hope Week the Staten Island Yankees staff, players, and mascots were fortunate enough to visit the VA Hospital in Brooklyn. For those unfamiliar it is a hospital dedicated to helping United States Veterans from all wars and military Branches. Going to the hospital we had the vision of a place that was filled with men and women who could use a visit from a Yankee to lift their spirits . What we later found was quite the contrary. Upon arrival we were brought into a room filled with veterans from several wars and they shared with us their names, what wars they had served in, and what military branch they had served in. From there we were given a tour of the facility. What we found above all else is that it was a place of healing. Throughout the hospital there were rooms dedicated to therapy, art therapy, music therapy, and rooms for men and women to just socialize and tell stories. In the end what we found was they didnt need Yankees to cheer them up. What truly came out of the experience was a group of men and women who were happy to feel appreciated. What was taken from it was a greater appreciation and understanding of the mind and feelings of a solider.

One on One Physical Therapy Fundraising Event
One on One Physical Therapy
The Inaugural High School Senior Scholarship baseball game and Autism Awareness Fundraiser was held on July 14th at Richmond County Bank Ballpark. The concept of the game originated when One On One Physical Therapy, a sponsor of the Staten Island Yankees, was looking to hold an event for its one day use of the park. Approximately 50 high school seniors from Staten Island public and private schools competed in the baseball game and for the chance to win a $2,500 scholarship. The scholarship was awarded based on applications which consisted of their school grades, community service and an essay about the obstacles theyve overcome in their own lives. The winner was Tottenvilles Andrew Falcone, who is living with Type I Diabetes. While the crowd of 1,000 was there to cheer on players in their last hurrah at the scholastic level, the revenue from ticket sales, raffle prizes and a 50/50 drawing went towards raising autism awareness. Specifically, the money went to three local Staten Island families affected by autism. The total money raised was $11,000.

Tri-City ValleyCats
Joseph L. Bruno Stadium - Troy, NY MLB Affiliate: Houston Astros Years in the NYPL: 2002-Present 2012 Attendance: 159,966
Charitable Summary In 2012, the Tri-City ValleyCats completed their 11th season in the Capital Region and set an attendance record for the ninth consecutive year. More
than ever the ValleyCats and their front office have planted firm roots in the local community and continue to make a commitment to serve those in the Capital Region. Many theme nights promote positive initiatives, such as healthy living, going green, breast cancer awareness, and stopping DWI. Other themes honor select members of the Capital Region, including Veterans Night and Community Heroes Night. For the third consecutive year the Tri-City ValleyCats commissioned the 4-in-24 program in April. On April 13th, the ValleyCats along with their Community Partners the Brickman Group, Pioneer Bank and BlueShield of Northeastern New York renovated four youth baseball fields in 24 hours through a coordinated, well-planned out effort that involved the ValleyCats front office, league volunteers and our corporate partners. The team also built upon their 4 in 24 project and existing Field Renovation Program with the creation of the Community Grounds Crew. Teaming up with BlueShield of Northeastern New York, the mission of this crew is to provide safe and well-maintained fields for youth sports organizations throughout the Capital Region by taking on additional projects during the year. The Tri-City ValleyCats continued their partnership with BlueShield of Northeastern New York and the Ks for Kids Program whose goal it is to educate children and families about bullies and bullying behavior. Also new in 2012, was the Drug Free Capital District program which featured a Drug Free Carnival, free tickets and meals to under privileged youth and a quiz administered at the stadium to encourage parents and children to start the conversation on drug use. The ValleyCats revamped their Kids Club program in 2012 by introducing the Cats Crew Kids Club. This paid club allows members unprecedented access to the players and staff with a private lunch with the players, a t-shirt, a hat as well as other discounts and benefits not available with the free Junior Cats program. With 90 Cats Crew members and over 3,000 Junior Cats members, we are engaging more youth in the Capital Region than ever before. The ValleyCats contributed almost $55,000 in goods, services, and financial donations to causes and organizations throughout the Capital Region. Events like the Capital Region Series Baseball Tournament and Capital Region Craft Brewers Festival raised money for the New York-Penn League Charitable Foundation with the proceeds reinvested back into the community as part of the Community Grounds Crew Program, with the NYPL Scholarship Program, and in the form of a Small Business Scholarship for the Rensselaer County Chamber of Commerces Leadership Institute. Fundraising opportunities at The Joe helped raise an additional $82,000 for local non-profit organization, highlighted by the American Cancer Societys Relay for Life that was hosted on June 9th & 10th. In recognition of these efforts, the team was the proud recipient of the prestigious Van Rensselaer Small Business Award from the Rensselaer County Chamber of Commerce, an acknowledgement of its contributions to the quality of life within the communities it serves. As the Community has continued to support the ValleyCats, win or lose, its imperative that the ValleyCats continue to give back whenever they can. Youth sports, and youth in general, are the focus of our efforts as we try and create Fans for Life with each person who walks through our front gates.

Relay for Life
On June 9th, the Rensselaer County Relay for Life took place at Joe Bruno Stadium. Raising nearly $56,000 for the American Cancer Society, the Relay for Life event at The Joe has become a pre-season summer staple that we look to continue for years to come. In 2012, the Tri-City ValleyCats continued to partner with with BlueShield of Northeastern New York to strike out bullying. For each strikeout recorded by ValleyCats pitchers at home, BlueShield donated ten dollars to the Capital District YMCA to help fund their Reach Out For Youth Scholarship Program, which provides access to CDYMCA programs and services for children in need in the Capital Region. The Ks for Kids program also featured anti-bullying presentations at area schools and libraries with ValleyCats players and the teams mascot, SouthPaw. Fun activity books designed to help children understand what bullying is and how to treat others were also distributed at presentations, at ValleyCats home games, during birthday parties held at the Joseph L. Bruno Stadium, and were available through the ValleyCats Kids Club. In total, $3,040 was raised for the Capital District YMCA which was celebrated with a check presentation during a ValleyCats home game.

Summer Reading Program
New Yorks College Savings 529 Program
Throughout the entire summer, the Tri-City ValleyCats front office, players and even mascots traveled to local libraries to read to kids who frequented that library. Each library was given a block of tickets which were then handed out to the kids who completed that individual librarys summer reading program. All of our summer readers were then invited out to the August 25th game. In 2012, the Tri-City ValleyCats, Rensselaer Honda and the Regional Food Bank partnerned for the Pass the Plate promotion in which Rensselaer Honda made a monetary donation for every run the ValleyCats scored at home during the season. In 2012, the Tri-City ValleyCats partnered up with Rensselaer County Stop DWI, Black & White Taxi and DeCrescente Distributing Company to help crack down on drunk driving. The R.I.D.E. program (or Renssealer County Invites Designated Drivers Everyday) encouraged fans to get home safe by filling out a R.I.D.E. voucher and receiving $15 towards their cab fare home. The program also encouraged designated drivers to step forward who upon registering would receive complimentary non-alcoholic beverages all game long. In 2012, the ValleyCats and corporate partners Dunkin Donuts and National Grid continued the Community Dugout program. This program provides complimentary ValleyCats tickets to non-profit organizations during the season. In 2012, the Tri-City ValleyCats made over 150 mascot, street team and player appearances throughout the community, ranging from visiting the Childrens Hospital at Albany Medical Center and cooking breakfast for the Ronald McDonald House to Little League Opening Days and baseball clinics, the ValleyCats made each appearance free of charge.

As the only professional sports team in the state of Vermont, the Vermont Lake Monsters understand the importance of taking an active role in the community. The Lake Monsters organization strives to provide a fun and exciting ballpark experience, while recognizing individuals and organizations for their hard work and dedication to the community. As a way to share Americas Pastime with members of the local community, the Lake Monsters created the Share the Experience program.

The Lake Monsters also take part in many important outside programs and events to show support throughout the entire state. As a way to give back to the local area, the Lake Monsters are continually donating their time and resources to non-profit organizations and events.

Some of these events include the Make-A-Wish Foundations Walk for Wishes, the American Cancer Societys Strides against Breast Cancer Walk, and the Travis Roy Foundation Wiffle Ball Tournament just to name a few. The Lake Monsters organization has always encouraged residents, local businesses and other members of the community to take an active role in giving back to those in need of support.

This season, NBT Bank sponsored a promotion called Strike Out Hunger. Each time a Lake Monsters pitcher threw a strikeout at home during the month of August, NBT Bank donated $10 to the Chittenden Emergency Food Shelf. A total of 134 strikeouts were thrown during August 2012, which allowed for $1,340 to be donated to the Chittenden Emergency Food Shelf. In partnership with Farrell Distributing, the Lake Monsters offer free reserved seating tickets all season long to any past or present military personnel and their families. In 2012, 674 tickets were given to men and women who have served our country through the Heres to the Heroes program. Total value of tickets donated this year is $5,392. The Lake Monsters host two annual Scout Sleepovers at Centennial field.
