The New Hampshire Fisher Cats established the Fisher Cats Foundation to be a catalyst for the betterment of communities statewide by supporting youth programs that encourage education and promote healthy living. Through the generous support of players, employees, sponsors, and fans, the Fisher Cats Foundation continuously works to make a positive impact throughout New Hampshire and north central Massachusetts. As the primary funding source for the team's philanthropy, the Fisher Cats Foundation supports a wide variety of non-profit organizations and coordinates several fundraising programs and events. Since its inception in 2006, the Foundation and the Fisher Cats have provided more than $1.87 million in monetary and in-kind donations to over 2,500 non-profit organizations.

The Child Advocacy Center of Hillsborough County (CAC-HC) is a nationally accredited program providing forensic interviews and coordinated support services to child victims of crime and their families free of charge. Since opening their doors in Nashua and Manchester, the Child Advocacy Center of Hillsborough County has provided services to more than 3,500 children. In addition, family advocacy services are provided, children and families are connected to community resources, and the CAC-HC remains a support to families as the criminal case moves through the legal system. The CAC-HC in partnership with multidisciplinary team members ensures a less traumatic investigative process, family connection to community resources, and high prosecution rates.

The Fisher Cats return home to begin a four-game series with the Portland Sea Dogs on Thursday, July 19 at 7:05 PM. The first three games of the series feature post-game Atlas Fireworks. Tickets are available starting as low as $6, and can be purchased in person at the stadium box office, over the phone at 603-641-2005, or online at www.nhfishercats.com.
