A great morning for baseball at PNC Park! ☀️ Over 200 youth from Pirates Training Centers took the field for a special clinic presented by @CleanAutoWash! Athletes rotated through skill stations, learned from PTC coaches, and were given a Pirates t-shirt as well as a ticket to a future game this season!

We're teaming up with @sheetz to deliver summer food boxes to local families in need and help bridge the gap between the school year and summer meal programs. Along the way, we're also celebrating teachers and school staff with end-of-year treats and special classroom visits. This year, the Pirates and Sheetz doubled our donation to support even more of the community! 🫶

This morning, we hosted our 5th Annual Pirates Charities Family Walk, an event that brings together fans to combat the ongoing mental health crisis in our community. Participants had the unique experience of walking through PNC Park, meeting with players, coaches, and their families. Post-walk, participants ended on the field to soak in a truly unique and memorable moment. The event concluded engaging with local non-profits offering mental health resources. #PCFamilyWalk

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 🖤💛
