We’re excited to announce that this summer the YMCA of the North will be a featured nonprofit in the Twins x Thrivent At Bat For Impact initiative!
May 14 through June 20, fans at Twins home games can vote to help direct donations our way and learn more about our unique approach to inspiring and empowering youth.
All fans attending each Twins regular season home game at Target Field are invited to vote among four featured nonprofits via the MLB Ballpark app. The game series that we will be featured at are:
- May 14 – 16 vs. NYY
- May 24 – 26 vs. TEX
- May 27 – 30 vs. KC
- June 10 – 12 vs. COL
- June 13 – 16 vs. OAK
- June 18 – 20 vs. TB
You can use the MLB Ballpark app to cast one vote during each regular season home game you attend at Target Field.
But what is the voting for?!
Twins x Thrivent At Bat For Impact will award $40,000 in total to the four featured non-profits promoted during the May and June games. The nonprofit in each cycle that garners the most fan votes will receive $15,000; the runner-up will get $12,000; the organization with the third-most votes will be given $8,000; and the fourth will be presented with $5,000.
That’s right – by simply showing your love for the YMCA by voting for us while attending a Twins game, you will help us secure a donation, allowing us to further advance our mission, impacting the many people we serve.
