Should local sports teams use their events to promote and support charitable relief efforts?
Fans attending the Choque de Gigantes baseball series in Little Havana can support recovery efforts for earthquake-impacted areas in Venezuela. The Miami Marlins are dedicating a portion of proceeds from the two-game tournament to local and international relief organizations.
Why it matters
This event continues the organization's involvement in regional disaster response following their earlier $100,000 contribution to earthquake relief. The initiative provides a direct way for the South Florida community to contribute to ongoing recovery in Venezuela.
The Marlins previously contributed $100,000 to earthquake recovery efforts and will now direct a portion of ticket and souvenir revenue from the two-game series toward aid. The total impact of the upcoming fundraiser remains to be determined.
