PCFLV provides family-centered programs and services throughout all stages of the pediatric cancer journey with compassion and integrity. Their initiatives and activities offer financial assistance, emotional support, and social connection to ensure no family faces pediatric cancer alone.
“This partnership brings together the excitement of IronPigs baseball and United’s commitment to giving back in a way that directly benefits families in our community,” said Jessica Rodriguez, United’s District Manager of Lehigh Valley. “Every stolen base represents hope, support and a tangible contribution to children and families facing pediatric cancer.”
“Baseball has a unique way of bringing people together, and this partnership allows us to turn exciting moments on the field into something that truly matters off the field,” said Sean Bowden, Manager, Corporate Partnerships of the Lehigh Valley IronPigs. “We are proud to work alongside United Federal Credit Union and the Pediatric Cancer Foundation of the Lehigh Valley to support local families and create a meaningful connection between our fans, our players and the community we call home.”
“Support like this makes a real difference for the children and families we serve,” said Michelle Zenie Rounds, Executive Director of PCFLV. “By transforming stolen bases into direct support for pediatric cancer families, United Federal Credit Union and the IronPigs are helping provide hope, resources and encouragement when it is needed most.”
The partnership will culminate each season with an on-field check presentation at Coca-Cola Park, recognizing the total charitable donation to the PCFLV. The check presentation will take place during the final homestand on Tuesday, September 8.
