Marlins Charity Partner Empowerment Fund

Marlins Charity Partner Empowerment Fund
4 South Florida Organizations to Receive $25,000 Gift and Marlins "Charity Partner" Status for 2013 Season

As our signature program for awarding gifts to non-profits, the Charity Partner Empowerment Fund allows us to invest in innovative organizations that are impacting our local community. In addition to the $25,000 donation, organizations will benefit from unique and exciting offerings. Charity Partners can bring public awareness to their causes through Marlins media coverage as well as in-game promotional and fundraising opportunities.

Established in 1999, The Marlins Foundation supports the charity partners of the Miami Marlins through philanthropy and service. The Foundation is committed to improving the lives of our youth through education, the arts and baseball, with a special focus on children with special needs. The Foundation community partnerships and outreach efforts demonstrate the Marlins' leadership in corporate responsibility and civic engagement.

For questions and information: Joanne Messing, Director of Foundation Partnerships, Marlins Foundation, jmessing@marlins.com.
