Bullying has no place in baseball.
We're joining @MLB to show our support for LGBTQ+ youth and take a stand against bullying.

Today we pledged support to the aspiring Miracle League program at Roxbury Park in Cambria County, to help construct a new accessible ballfield in Johnstown.
The field will be the 12th in which Pirates Charities plays a vital role in supporting.
Today we celebrate Miracle League Day at PNC Park🖤💛
We hosted more than 2,000 Miracle League athletes from around the area with in-game activations and an on-field ceremony.
For nearly 20 years, Pirates Charities has partnered with the Miracle League to build accessible ballfields, expand adaptive programming, and create unique opportunities for athletes to play, learn, and grow on and off the field.

Mitch Keller met Jordon Kessler two years ago while Jordon was undergoing treatment for Stage 4 neuroblastoma. These days, Jordon is cancer-free. But a neat bond exists between the two families. Fun to observe and write about this yesterday. mlb.com/news/visit-and-frien…

Special Olympics Pennsylvania officially kicked off its Summer Games today at PNC Park with the Be a Fan Torch Run.
We had a great morning at our Special Olympics Torch Lighting and Run here at PNC Park! Thank you, Special Olympics Pennsylvania Association (SOPA) for joining us. The program included speeches from SOPA leadership and local and state dignitaries. Additionally, local law enforcement joined Special Olympics athletes for a lap around the bases before beginning their relay run to State College.

Yesterday, we had the honor of welcoming Penelope Byler, a friend of @LendingHearts, to the game. Penelope is a rhabdomyosarcoma survivor and has been in remission since 2019. Bryan Reynolds hosted her special day at the ballpark as she was able to watch BP with her 10U softball team, play catch on the field, throw out the first pitch, and even hold the finish line for the Pierogi Race!
Her and her friends/family were special guests of Bob Nutting as they watched the game from a World Series suite. We're so proud of Penelope and her continued strength and resilience 🖤💛

The connection between the Pirates and local youth baseball is strengthened through the commitment to the Pirates RBI.
For two days in July, dreams turn into reality at PNC Park as the Pirates RBI Championships brings area players together for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity — to play where their heroes play.
