Hudson Valley Renegades News Release
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - For the sixth consecutive year, Minor League Baseball teams will honor America and help raise much-needed funds for a worthy cause this Independence Day holiday weekend by wearing specially designed "Stars & Stripes" caps from New Era Cap Company. A total of 115 teams will wear the specialty caps as part of fundraising and awareness initiatives for Welcome Back Veterans, an organization dedicated to addressing the ongoing needs of military personnel and their families.
Minor League Baseball, in conjunction with its licensing partner Major League Baseball Properties, will once again donate 100 percent of the proceeds from cap sales to Welcome Back Veterans as part of its contribution to the program. Since the program's inception in 2010, MiLB has contributed annually to the veterans' organization. The caps have a red, white and blue version of the team logo over a flag-waving, striped background. They can be purchased in team stores of participating teams, and online on some teams' websites.
"The Stars & Stripes cap program is a way of showing our appreciation to the men and women who have served and made great sacrifices for our country, while at the same time helping a tremendous organization that provides treatment for veterans and their families," said Minor League Baseball President & CEO Pat O'Conner. "On behalf of all of Minor League Baseball, we would like to salute and thank all of the current and former members of our armed forces for their service to our country."
