MLB to Pass the Hat for Hurricane Relief
2005-09-06 13:35
by Ken Arneson

During each baseball game on Wednesday, September 7, Major League Baseball will "pass the hat" (literally!) to collect funds for the Red Cross hurricane relief efforts.

MLB will match up to $1 million of those donations.

Teams playing road games tomorrow will have a separate "Pass the Hat" day in the near future.

* * *

For A's fans, there are two ways contribute to this matching fund program:

  • During the second inning of tomorrow's A's game against Seattle, ushers will pass hats or buckets around the ballpark to collect funds.
     
  • Donations will also be accepted at the Guest Relations booth behind section 120 throughout the ballgame.
     

Donations can be made by either cash or check. Checks should be made out to "American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund."

* * *

I'll be at the game tomorrow, ready to put my check into the hat. I had been looking for some way to get my contributions matched, but hadn't found one I was eligible for before this.

You figure that passing the hat with 30,000 people at 30 ballparks, they would be able to get $1 million, but I'll add my share help ensure the full amount gets matched.

* * *

On a side note, if anybody would like to meet up for the game, let me know...
