For 13 Wednesdays throughout the 2010 Major League Baseball season the Cleveland Indians will team up with a NE Ohio non-profit organization to provide much-needed funds and the opportunity to raise awareness for their specific cause. "Fill the House for Charity" is a successful initiative spearheaded by the Indians Community Outreach and Ticketing Departments. Launched in 2009, this program raised more than $600,000 in monetary and in-kind donations for 13 NE Ohio non-profits.
The Indians will donate $5 from each ticket sold by the participating non-profit organization back to the charity. Also, $1 from every overall ticket sale for Wednesday games during the 2010 baseball season will be donated to the designated charity.
The more people "in the house" at Progressive Field - the more revenue generated for a worthwhile cause. Enjoy Indians Baseball and support a cause close to your heart-a winning combination! Below is the list of participating non-profits that appreciate your support.
