Omaha Storm Chasers News Release
PAPILLION, Neb. - In an effort to help the local community, Omaha Storm Chasers have announced that they are working with United Way of the Midlands and Major League Baseball to assist with their relief efforts for the recent tragic tornados that tore through Nebraska and Iowa.
"Our hearts go out to all those impacted by the storms April 26th and May 6th. We are humbled that Major League Baseball and Minor League Baseball have joined with us to raise needed funds for those impacted," said Storm Chasers team president Martie Cordaro. "A special thanks to the specific clubs that have reached out and already donated to assist in our efforts."
United Way of the Midlands started the Nebraska & Iowa Tornado Relief Fund to help those that have been displaced from their homes and communities being destroyed. The Chasers will be donating all proceeds from their Star Wars Night jersey auction (tonight, May 10) to this fund to assist United Way of the Midlands in their efforts.
