Rocket City Trash Pandas News Release


MADISON, AL - The Hometown Throwdown Series, presented by Redstone Federal Credit Union, returns for its second season in 2026 after launching in 2025. The series features dedicated nights celebrating communities across North Alabama and the Tennessee Valley, with each game highlighting a local municipality and partnering with a designated charity. Fans can contribute directly when purchasing tickets, and at the conclusion of the series, the Trash Pandas Foundation will present an additional donation based on attendance.

"The Hometown Throwdown Series is a powerful way for us to celebrate the communities that support us all season long," said Lindsey Knupp, Trash Pandas Executive Vice President and Assistant General Manager. "By partnering with local non-profits, we're able to bring people together at TOYOTA Field while giving back in a meaningful way."
