HOUSTON, TX – Astros partner Energy Transfer has donated $25,000 to the Astros Foundation as part of their season-long initiative that pledged $25 for every strikeout recorded by an Astros pitcher at home in 2021.

The initiative and the final donation total of $25,000 is in recognition of Energy Transfer’s celebration of 25 years as the U.S. midstream energy leader.

“We are grateful for Energy Transfer’s continued commitment to the Astros Foundation,” said Twila Carter of the Astros Foundation. “Their generous contribution will provide great support to our efforts to assist those in need.”
