When my town of Staples was newly incorporated a few years ago, we collaborated—through the League—with Texas cities that had come before us to help get our effort off the ground. In fact, I’ll bet there isn’t a lot that happens in Texas cities that isn’t the result of partnering with others both internally and outside in order to make things better. Inside this issue, you’ll find interesting discussions of Texas towns partnering with state colleges, school districts, their counties for disaster recovery, other cities, and much, much more. And speaking of partnerships, we can’t forget that the League’s advocacy effort at the Texas Capitol is nothing more than a partnership of all Texas cities working together for the good of our citizens.

  • Minor League Baseball and Its Clubs Embodied the Mission of Milb
    2019 MiLBTM COMMUNITY REPORT LETTER FROM PAT O’CONNER LETTER FROM PAT Dear Friends and Colleagues, Thank you for your efforts in making 2019 another successful philanthropic year for Minor League Baseball, our 160 teams and MiLB Charities. As we prepare for the 2020 season, we have many accomplishments from last season to celebrate. None of our efforts would be possible without the great work of our teams, continued dedication from staff at the national office and the support of our millions of fans nationwide. For a fifth straight year, all 160 clubs reported their charitable giving and contributions, allowing us to accurately assess our collective efforts. It gives me great pleasure to say that in 2019, MiLB Charities donated nearly $50 million in cash and gifts in kind from our teams, leagues and partners — once again setting a new record-high total. In addition, MiLB and its teams nearly doubled our volunteer efforts from 2018, giving more than 26,000 hours in service of our communities. This report highlights MiLB Charities’ many programs and initiatives, including the MiLB CommUNITY Initiative presented by Allegiant Air, the Stars & Stripes Caps Program with New Era Cap Company, the Derrick Hall Pro-State Foundation Father’s Day Initiative, Ed Randall’s Fans For the Cure, the Joe Torre Safe At Home Domestic Violence Awareness Initiative, and the “Cover Your Bases” Sun Safety Initiative with the American Cancer Society. These are just a few of the ways our teams and partners are working together to make positive and lasting impacts in our MiLB communities.
