We look forward to bringing the Mets’ infectious energy to the streets of New York City and surprising and delighting fans with pop-ups and giveaways, free access to some of the city’s most iconic venues, and opportunities to give back.”

Come Together for Community Events
Since its inception, the Amazin’ Mets Foundation has provided more than $5 million in grants to local nonprofits that provide needed services and opportunities to children, families, and underserved groups in the neighborhoods and communities near Citi Field. As an extension of this work, the New York Mets and the Amazin’ Mets Foundation are inviting New Yorkers to support the community on Amazin’ Day.
There will be appearances from several Mets alumni and Mr. and Mrs. Met at community events throughout the day. Participating organizations and events include:
- A pop-up animal adoption event with North Shore Animal League America at Wollman Rink.
- A Diamond Takeover youth baseball game at NYC Parks’ Flushing Meadows Corona Park, where the Mets will donate gear to the local teams and announce a grant to renovate the field.
- A distribution of Mets co-branded, limited-edition library cards with Queens Public Library.
Be Sure to Wear Your Mets Hat
In addition to a line-up of planned events and multiple activation points across the city, the Mets will have fun surprises for fans wearing their Mets gear. Official Mets Reps will pass out swag, participating Coca-Cola restaurants will give away free Coke products, and the Dunkin’ Jeep will drive around sharing gift cards.
There will also be Amazin’ Day Merch Pop-Ups throughout Manhattan and Queens, with Reps handing out free Amazin’ Day Mets hats and gear during the day.
For out-of-town fans, there will be an opportunity to participate virtually via the Mets' social channels. Fans across the New York area and the country are encouraged to share their Mets fandom and gear on social media with the hashtag #AmazinDay.
