Mets Community Insider

The Mets Foundation teamed up with Pitch In For Baseball for the Sandlot Stars equipment donation program. Mets employees volunteered their time to assemble team kits which were distributed to 100 youth baseball and softball teams from New York City and Long Island. Players and coaches from all 100 teams came to Citi Field to pick up their new Mets branded equipment. Each team received a team bag, bats, helmets, gloves, catchers gear, and baseballs or softballs.

The Sandlot Stars program helps local youth baseball and softball organizations who are working with children from underserved areas have the opportunity to play the game.

The Mets teamed up with the Athletic Angels Foundation to host a Mets on the Move Fitness Clinic in Port St. Lucie, Florida at the team's Spring Training facility.

Children from local foster care organizations participated in the fun workout and were surprised by Mets players including Robert Gsellman for a special meet and greet. Each child received Mets on the Move themed prizes for participating in the clinic.

The Commissioner's Community Initiative program allows the Mets to enhance the lives of underprivileged and at-risk youth, the medically dependent or disabled, and senior citizens. This program provides complimentary tickets to 501 (C) (3) charitable organizations that allows members of the community to attend a Mets game that they otherwise would not be able to afford.
