Today and every day we honor and thank those who have bravely served our country ???? #VeteransDay

To the most passionate and supportive fans in all of baseball, thank you for an incredible season ??

Today, MLB and the Yankees hosted a 2024 World Series Legacy event announcing plans to build a new sensory room at One World Middle School in the Bronx. The special 2024 World Series Legacy Project aims to provide a sensory-safe place at the school to serve all students, including those who are neurodivergent. The New York Yankees Foundation is matching MLB’s grant, which will also provide for enhanced and expanded programming at the school. The New York Yankees established a relationship with One World Middle School earlier this year to collaborate on the redesign of a sensory room at Yankee Stadium, which opened officially during ALDS Game 1. The goal was to create greater access for baseball fans whose neurodivergence or other needs might make the stimulation of the stadium difficult to navigate. Ambassadors in the NEST program, along with their families and some of their teachers, helped to create the vision and development of this space.

To further acknowledge #SpiritDay, we were joined by Covenant House International alumni, who volunteered at this morning’s Pop-Up Food Distribution at Yankee Stadium. Covenant House International serves a disproportionately large LGBTQ+ population, many of whom experience a higher rate of bullying and harassment compared to their peers. The food distributions, which began in May of 2021, are made in conjunction with Food Bank For New York City and provide 500 local families with monthly access to shelf-stable food items and fresh produce.

This MLB #SpiritDay and every day, we are proud to take a stand against bullying and support LGBTQ+ youth ??

Prior to Friday's game, representatives from New York Life Insurance Company (NYL) presented SCAN-Harbor, the largest youth service provider in Harlem, East Harlem and the South Bronx, with a $100,000 donation ?? This year, as part of the ‘Strikeout Series’ initiative, NYL pledged to donate $100 to SCAN-Harbor for each strikeout by a Yankees pitcher during regular season home games. The funds will be used to support vitally needed after-school programming resources for Bronx-based middle school students ??
