Cleveland Indians Launch 2010 “fill The House For Charity”
CLEVELAND, OH --- The Cleveland Indians today announced the return of the popular and successful community outreach initiative “Fill the House for Charity”. For 13 Wednesdays throughout the 2010 Major League Baseball season the Cleveland Indians will partner with a NE Ohio non-profit organization to provide much-needed funds and the opportunity to raise awareness for their specific cause. In its inaugural season in 2009, this initiative raised more than $600,000 in monetary and in-kind donations for 13 NE Ohio non-profits.
The Indians organization works to improve the quality of life and share the spirit of citizenship and community with those living in and around Cleveland while using the great game of baseball as the backdrop. Through the Cleveland Indians Community Outreach Department, the Indians are dedicated to supporting programs, groups and activities that make a positive impact on families, fans and citizens of Northeast Ohio.
Each participating non-profit organization will generate revenue through the sale of discounted Indians tickets for their specific game and utilize Progressive Field to share their goodwill message. The Indians will donate $5 per every ticket sold by the agency, as well as donate an additional $1 for every ticket sold to their game. The more people “in the house” at Progressive Field – the more revenue generated for a worthwhile cause.
The 13 “Fill the House” participating service agencies will also receive a variety of event promotions, day of game presence and sales initiative tools such as in-game mentions, in-game check presentation and various auction items to help raise additional funds (suite, autographed items, ceremonial first pitch, etc.). In addition, the Indians will provide promotional support to help raise awareness for the Charity and its event date. This includes radio and TV network promotions, a webpage dedicated to Fill the House for Charity, inclusion in each game day’s Batter Up! program and a scoreboard feature showcasing the organization. Each organization will have a presence throughout various areas of Progressive Field on their designated game date.
By attending “Fill the House” Wednesday games during the 2010 season, Tribe fans will be able to share the positive mission of each local non-profit. Enjoy Indians Baseball and support a cause close to your heart—a winning combination!
Below is the list of participating non-profits that appreciate your support.
