Every Hit is a Win: Meet the July and August Nonprofits

Simply Suncoast

July 26, 2023

As baseball season rolls on through the summer, we’re continuing to cheer on the Tampa Bay Rays with our partnership program Every Hit is a Win!

In case you missed it, we’re donating $78 each time a Rays player gets a hit. These donations can add up to $15,000 to be split between three local nonprofit organizations. You can vote for one nonprofit on our Facebook page each month, and your votes will determine what percentage of the donation pot they receive!

Get to know the nonprofits we’re supporting in July and August, and then head over to our Facebook page when you’re ready to vote!
