MLB And The Pepsi Refresh Project
July 30th, 2010 | Posted by Leah Hollar in Baseball,CharityPepsi is giving away millions of dollars to fund improvement to communities around America. Pepsi teamed up with the MLB and teams are coming up with their own ideas to enter into a competition for a $200,000 grant to help carry out the improvement of their choice. Fans can log on and vote for their favorite teams idea. For example, the Los Angeles Angels want to “encourage at-risk high school seniors to attend four-year college programs.” A longer description of the goal explains how they plan on playing that out. The Angels plan on graduating 100% of at-risk seniors who are four-year eligible with a clear career path plan by rewarding successful students and their families with tickets to games. They also plan on having Angels players and/or executives visiting campuses to speak directly to students about the importance of education in reaching career goals. Other ideas include: building a community park for people of different abilities (Oakland A’s), teaching baseball skills to over 20,000 young people (Detroit Tigers), and providing school supplies for participants of the Inner City Youth Baseball Program (Chicago White Sox).
Log on here to vote for the project you think would refresh our communities the best.
