Lexington Legends News Release


The Lexington Legends will join 46 minor league baseball clubs currently participating in a "15 for 15" initiative to raise funds to help at least three Minor League Baseball communities that were recently affected by storms, tornadoes and flooding in the Southeastern United States. For 15 days through May 30, the participating clubs have agreed to donate 15% of every order received through their online stores to MiLB Charities to use towards disaster relief efforts.

"Severe weather has affected, and continues to impact, so many communities that support and embrace Minor League Baseball," MiLB Vice President of Business Development Tina Gust said. "The 15 for 15 initiative is one way for our clubs and fans across the country to give back and assist those communities in their time of need."

"We're proud to join this Minor League Baseball initiative," said Legends General Manager Andy Shea. "Through the years, we've had many players from the region affected by these storms, so it's nice that we can help give back at this time."

Minor League Baseball Charities is a separate tax exempt, 501(c)(3) charitable organization affiliated with the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues, Inc. Visit http://milbcharities.milbstore.com for more information about the "15 for 15" initiative, or to make a donation to MiLB Charities.
