Colorado Rockies Spotlight

Colorado Rockies Baseball Club Foundation

Since 1993, the Colorado Rockies Foundation has focused on supporting youth who are disadvantaged or at-risk. The foundation primarily focuses on education while also drawing attention to drug and alcohol-abuse awareness and prevention

To help the foundation make a difference anyone can make tax-deductible donations to the Colorado Rockies Baseball Club Foundation. These donations can be made on behalf of an individual, a company, or even a group. The foundation emphasizes that donations of any size are welcome and help them create positive changes in the lives of the youth

Summer Slugger:

The Colorado Rockies and MLB have partnered with EVERFI to facilitate an online education program for children; the program being baseball-themed, of course. The program gives kids the opportunity to work on and master critical math and literacy skills. The program was set up with hopes to help prepare children, from all backgrounds, to be ready for their next school year.

The program can be accessed at SummerSlugger.com/Rockies using the code “ROCKIES”

The 2020 Home Opener: Feed the Rockies:

The opening game was broadcasted on AT&T SportsNet and on Rockies.com. Over 1000 fans who watched from home donated to the foundation throughout the game. The foundation then matched that value and donated it to regional food banks. The Colorado Rockies Baseball Club Foundation ended up donating over half a million dollars to their regional food banks.
