SYRACUSE, NY – The Syracuse Mets are introducing We Care Wednesdays to the 2023 baseball season at NBT Bank Stadium. We Care Wednesdays will allow the Mets to feature local 501(c)(3) organizations during all Wednesday home games throughout the season.

Featured organizations will receive the following as a selected We Care Wednesday participant: 

• Concourse table at NBT Bank Stadium during a Wednesday home game for direct marketing/awareness of their organization. 
• First pitch experience 
• (1) inning on the radio to promote the organization 
• In-game recognition on the videoboard 
• Ability to hang banners/signage on Home Plate Gates 
• Fundraising – a ticket link will be provided to organizations, and $4 of every ticket sold through that link will be donated back to the organization 

"The Syracuse Mets are proud to be a part of the Central New York Community, and it is our mission to support as many organizations in that community as possible," said Syracuse Mets General Manager Jason Smorol. "I am proud that we are able to give a platform to some organizations in our community that really make a difference in the lives of the people who live here."
