Miami, FL – The Marlins Foundation is requesting proposals for the 2014 Charity Partner Empowerment Fund. To be considered as a 2014 Marlins Charity Partner, organizations must provide direct and unique programming for youth through education, arts and baseball related programming, more specifically by providing unique experiences for kids in schools, parks and on the water.

“During the first two years at Marlins Park, the Marlins Foundation invested over $1.9 million in philanthropy in South Florida. In addition, over 14,000 hours of volunteer service was completed through Marlins Ayudan. To continue our commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility, and in recognition of the vital role non-profits play in South Florida, the Marlins Foundation will select four 2014 Charity Partners to empower with a $25,000 donation and season long benefits.“ said Miami Marlins President, David Samson. “Additional benefits include volunteers from Marlins Ayudan, recognition throughout the season at Marlins Park, exposure with media partners and player involvement.” concluded Samson.

In addition to the $100,000 Charity Partner Empowerment Fund, the Marlins Foundation will continue to support South Florida charities, schools and neighborhood organizations throughout the year with other programs and fundraising initiatives.
