October 2019
Dear Minor League Baseball Executive Team:
It is my pleasure to submit our annual report in consideration for the John Henry Moss Community Service Award. We’re honored to be a three-year nominee, and we salute all MiLB teams for their commitments to community service!
The Red Wings are a community-owned ballclub, and at Rochester Community Baseball, we’re proud that “Community” is our middle name. While operating since the late 1800s, we’ve been incorporated as a community asset since 1957. At that time my father, the late Morrie Silver, led the stock drive for which 8,222 area stakeholders stepped up to save – and then enhance – baseball in Rochester. Additionally, the Rochester Red Wings have a 23-member volunteer board of directors, many of whom serve on not-for-profit boards around the community, lending the team even further outreach. We believe the impact on our community should go well beyond our 70 scheduled games at Frontier Field. Through hosting, volunteering, and donating, we show our commitment to the Greater Rochester community year- round, and we enjoy the “giving back” mentality that’s been part of our core values for decades.
Thank you for reviewing our efforts. We are very grateful to be considered!
Sincerely,
Naomi Silver President & CEO
