MEDIA ALERT MIAMI LIGHTHOUSE VISUALLY IMPAIRED TEENS TAKING THE FIELD AT LOANDEPOT PARK ON AUGUST 9 WHAT: Teens of Miami Lighthouse for the Blind’s Pre-Employment Transition Program to enjoy intensive baseball experience. WHEN: Monday, August 9, 2021 9:30 a.m. WHERE: loanDepot park 501 Marlins Way Miami, Florida 33125 DETAILS: Blind and visually impaired participants of the Miami Lighthouse’s Pre- Employment Transition Program for teenagers will enjoy an exciting day at the ballpark, courtesy of the Miami Marlins Foundation. Their visit will begin with a beep baseball game on the field followed by a touch tour of loanDepot park led by the Miami Marlins staff. Beep baseball is a form of baseball which can be played by people who are visually impaired, using a ball that emits a beeping sound. Miami Lighthouse’s Transition Program students will be taught to hit the ball, using their sense of hearing and reflexes. “The competitive and playful nature of Beep Ball brings to life our Miami Lighthouse for the Blind slogan that ‘It's Possible to See Without Sight™’”, said Virginia A. Jacko President and CEO of Miami Lighthouse. Providing individuals 14-22 the opportunity to develop skills to enter the work force or post- secondary education, our Pre-Employment Transition Program teaches students home and personal management, assistive technology, job readiness, orientation and mobility, social skills, and community integration. Former Miami Lighthouse Transition Program student, Eduardo Limonta, is now a Game Day Staff Member of the Miami Marlins. Additionally, Javier Carillo, Manager of the Marlins Grounds Crew, has a son who is entering our Pre-School Program in our Miami Lighthouse Academy. They both will be onsite for interviews. For more information about the Transition Program and its visit to loanDepot park, contact Cameron Sisser of the Miami Lighthouse at 786-362-7515 or [email protected]. .

DEP Recognizes Miami Marlins for 54 Percent Recycling Rate Cliff Wilson, DEP Deputy Secretary (third from right) flanked by Claude Delorme, Marlins Executive VP of Operations and Events (third from left), presents Jeff King, Marlins VP of Facilities, with a recycling recognition certificate for 2013 as Keyna Cory and Chuck Dees, Florida Recycling Partnership (left), and Jorge Caspary, DEP Division of Waste Management Director (right), look on. On July 30, 2014, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection recognized The Miami Marlins for recycling 54.4% of its solid waste in 2013. The Miami Marlins have implemented a comprehensive recycling plan that ensures plastics, metals, paper, cardboard and glass are recycled during events held at Marlins Park. During the construction of the Miami Park District, the organization was able to divert or recycle more than 95 percent of the construction waste. The team was awarded Major League Baseball’s 2013 “Green Glove” award for the National League’s East Division. This award goes to the top teams that have the highest recycling rate in the league. The Miami Marlins is a member of the Florida Recycling Partnership, a coalition of businesses and associations dedicated to improving Florida’s recycling rates. In addition to recycling practices, Marlins Park was designed with many aspects of sustainability in mind. From the energy-efficient lighting, heating and cooling systems, to water use reductions, Marlins Park is the most sustainable facility in Major League Baseball. It is the first professional sports facility in the world with a retractable roof to earn LEED Gold Certification from the U.S.
