Pirates Charities, Pirates Manager Clint Hurdle and his wife, Karla, in partnership with AT&T SportsNet, announced the return of the "Wins for Kids" fundraising campaign for the 2019 season. The program is now in its ninth season of raising funds to support Pirates Charities and the Prader-Willi syndrome program at The Children's Institute of Pittsburgh, through donations from fans and supporters. The Wins for Kids program encourages fans to contribute with a one-time donation for 2019 or a monetary pledge for each Pirates win throughout the season. Fans who donate to the program will receive a variety of exciting incentives. Throughout the program's history, over $480,000 has been raised for this effort. During each year of this program, unique Clint Hurdle-branded items have been offered as incentives and a “thank you” to donors who contribute to Wins for Kids. This year, fans who contribute a minimum of $35 will receive a specially designed Wins for Kids snow globe autographed by Clint Hurdle.

Additional Wins for Kids donor options are:

• A donation of $1 for every Pirates win during the 2019 regular season-- Fans will receive the "Wins for Kids" snow globe and an autographed Clint Hurdle baseball.

• A donation of $5 for every Pirates win during the 2019 regular season-- Fans will receive the "Wins for Kids" snow globe, an autographed Clint Hurdle baseball and an autographed bat from a current Pirates player or coach of your choice.*

• A donation exceeding $1,000 (one time donation or pledge-per-win)-- Fans will receive the "Wins for Kids" snow globe, an autographed Clint Hurdle baseball, an autographed bat from a current Pirates player or coach of your choice,* AND a meet and greet with Clint Hurdle prior to a 2020 Pirates game at PNC Park. *Players/coach selections are dependent upon availability.
