The Seattle Mariners are joining with YWCA Seattle King Snohomish to help raise funds for the organization’s mission of eliminating racism and empowering women.

A ticket special is available for the game on Friday, September 13, when the Mariners meet the Chicago White Sox. The cost is $36 for Main Level seats and $19 for View Level seats, with $5 from each ticket purchased through the special offer benefitting YWCA. Tickets are available online only at Mariners.com/YWCA.

“YWCA provides crucial services focused on economic advancement, health and safety, race and social justice. These are all issues of critical importance to our community and the Mariners are proud to support their important work,” said Fred Rivera, Seattle Mariners Executive Vice President Legal, Governmental Affairs and Community Relations.

Established in 1894, YWCA Seattle King Snohomish is the oldest nonprofit in the region focused on the needs of women and girls, and is the second largest YWCA association in the United States. 2019 marks the 125th anniversary of the association, which is celebrating throughout the year with their “All In for Washington Women” campaign.
