This summer, the Welland Jackfish and the YMCA of Niagara are excited to announce a dynamic partnership for the 2024 baseball season. This collaboration is designed to ignite potential and community spirit, embodying the Jackfish philosophy of “Fans First, Fun Always.”

A Triple Play of Family Fun, Community Connection, and Giving Back

The Welland Jackfish games are celebrated not just for their exhilarating baseball but for being a hub of community activity. “At the Welland Jackfish, we believe every game should be an event, a place where families can enjoy not only great baseball but also connect with their community and have some serious fun,” says Ryan Harrison, President, and Director of Fun for the Welland Jackfish.

This season, each game at the Welland Stadium, locally known as “The Pond,” will support the YMCA of Niagara’s Stronger Together Fund

Jen Schmaltz on the Power of Partnership

Jen Schmaltz, General Manager of Marketing and Philanthropy at the YMCA of Niagara enthusiastically highlighted the transformative impact of this new partnership. “When you find the right community partners, everything just clicks. Together with the Welland Jackfish, we are igniting potential in young people across Niagara. This team-up epitomizes how community collaboration can spark positive change and build a brighter future for all,” she stated.

Putting the FUN in Fundraising

Fans will also find new fun zones like the super cool radar tunnel where attendees can test their pitching speed, potentially setting new records while supporting a good cause. “It’s not just about a night out; it’s about making a difference,” adds Ryan.

The Welland Jackfish invite everyone to join them for a season filled with home runs, cheers, and “FUN-forgettable” moments. Tickets are now on sale, offering everyone the chance to be part of this community-celebrating, cause-supporting initiative.
