CIC and Flashes of Hope Partner for "Kick It"
Cleveland Indians Charities (CIC) and Flashes of Hope partnered to present a new campaign called "Kick It", which will give a chance for young Tribe fans to play kickball in the outfield of Progressive Field with their favorite Indians players and help children with cancer.
Throughout the summer and with parental permission, kids can register teams to hold kickball games in their communities to raise money from July until September. Teams of kids will then be chosen to play in "Kick It" games at Progressive Field post-game during five Kids Fun Days in August and September beginning with Sunday, August 2. All proceeds to benefit Pediatric, Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Research.
Kick-It is a national grassroots fundraising campaign, sponosored by Flashes of Hope, that unites communities in the fight against pediatric cancer through a simple game-kickball.
Community Days
Both the Cleveland Indians and The Commissioner's Initiative for Kids dedicate their efforts to supporting the development of well-rounded youth and strong communities. Recognizing the accomplishments of our young people by donating tickets to children and families across the country is an important part of our national commitment. The goal of The Commissioner's Initiative for Kids is to provide tickets to children who might not otherwise have the opportunity to attend a Major League Baseball game.

Fill the House for Charity
Wednesdays at Progressive Field will feature a new special Community Outreach initiative called "Fill The House For Charity" as 13 different non-profit service agencies will enjoy the opportunity to raise funds and awareness for their specific cause. Each non-profit organization will generate revenue through the sale of discounted Indians tickets for their specific game - and utilize Progressive Field to share their goodwill message.
The Indians will donate $5 per every ticket sold by the agency, as well as donate an additional $1 for every ticket sold to their game.
