The Tribe's Community Outreach initiative "Fill the House for Charity" was a great success for 13 non-profit agencies! During Wednesday Tribe games throughout the 2011 season, each participating non-profit organization generated revenue through the sale of discounted Indians tickets for their specific game and utilized Progressive Field to share their goodwill message.
The Indians donated $5 per every ticket sold by the agency, as well as an additional $1 for every ticket sold on the day of their designated game. This initiative raised more than $586,000 in monetary and in-kind donations for 13 NE Ohio non-profits.
