Between innings, the groups were recognized and received a round of applause from the fans. Some of the groups represented dressed in matching attire to display their organization, including the St. Patrick’s Celebration group from Ireland, dressed in green with shamrock shirts.

“Partnering with the Bombers was a perfect opportunity to bring together our nonprofit community,” said Nicole Hurrle, Communications & Engagement Manager for the Community Foundation.  “This was a great way to have fun and celebrate what they do for our community.”

“Our motive was to take time out of the day and recognize all the impressive work accomplished by the dedicated staff and volunteers of nonprofits,” said Brad Ward, Community Foundation CEO.
