How to Reach the Detroit Tigers
32
Dear Tigers Fans & Friends:
Making a positive difference in the lives of people is as important to the Detroit Tigers as winning
the World Series. Each year, we reach out to thousands of individuals and more than 2,000 charitable
organizations in an effort to improve the quality of life in our local communities, around the great
state of Michigan, in northwest Ohio and across the border in Canada.
Through the Detroit Tigers Foundation and community affairs initiatives, the organization has
donated baseball equipment, financial resources and special experiences to positively impact more
than 150,000 children each year. The Foundation is at the forefront of revitalizing youth baseball in our
community, and in turn teaching our young people leadership skills, sportsmanship and confidence.
In addition to our focus on baseball, we place equal emphasis on providing educational opportunities
for young people. The Detroit Tigers offer scholarships and educational programs designed to motivate
and inspire our youth through the arts and reading.
Comerica Park has played an important role in the revitalization of downtown Detroit. Since the
ballpark opened in 2000, the Tigers have donated more than $10 million dollars worth of tickets to
provide almost 500,000 underprivileged youths with an opportunity to experience a Tigers game.
Many of those young people were being given that opportunity for the first time in their lives.
A great source of pride is the personal commitment of our players and coaches, their wives, and our
front office staff in supporting all of our community initiatives. We believe in Detroit and are committed
to making a positive difference in our city. The following pages will provide an overview of our efforts
and hopefully motivate others to become involved.
Sincerely,
David Dombrowski
President, CEO and General Manager
Youth Baseball
The Tigers are dedicated to reviving baseball in our
community with programs that bring baseball back to life.
Gloves for Kids
The love of baseball runs deep in the veins of Detroit.
However, as financial hardships cause a shortage of
equipment and time weathers our baseball fields, youth
baseball suffers. Together with CBS Radio partners,
the Tigers call upon our community to collect gentlyused equipment and refurbish the fields where the
magical moments of baseball take place. The Gloves
for Kids program gave 400 kids at six inner-city
baseball programs a chance to play ball by providing
gloves, cleats, bats and balls.
Tigers players show off the impressive 1,000 pieces of equipment
collected through Gloves for Kids. Funds and equipment are
awarded to local softball and baseball programs.
A Little League
Tradition is Saved
When the annual Hometown World Series little league
baseball game was at risk of being cancelled due to a
lack of funding, Ilitch Charities and the Detroit Tigers
went to bat to save this cherished event by donating
nearly $30,000 to non-profit organization Think
Detroit PAL. The Hometown World Series game
will now go on for years to come.
Tigers honor the Hometown World Series Champions – the best
youth teams in Detroit – before a Tigers game at Comerica Park.

A Renewed Love
of Baseball in the Inner Cities
Teams from more than 200 cities compete for a spot in the annual
Reviving Baseball in the Inner (RBI) Cities World Series. Thanks in part
to support from the Detroit Tigers, the Detroit Junior Boys RBI team has
brought home two championships in recent years. The young athletes are
featured in a special pre-game ceremony at Comerica Park and enjoy the
game from a luxury suite.
Children Learn
Willie Horton’s Passion –
Baseball!
Tigers legend Willie Horton never forgets his
hometown of Detroit and the children in need in
our community. Together with Horton, the Detroit
Tigers, the Youth Development Commission and
Don Bosco Hall open the gates of Comerica Park
annually to nearly 400 underprivileged children
for Willie Horton’s Batting for Kids day.

Baseball Skills for Life
Children sharpen their baseball skills through competitions and
instructional clinics. A few lucky kids even get to share the field
with Horton during the event.

Youth Baseball
Pitching, hitting and running are the core skills
in baseball. Major League Baseball and the Tigers
help local youth develop these essential skills
during the Pepsi Pitch, Hit & Run competition
at Comerica Park. The finalists are honored
during a pre-game ceremony and are hosted for
an exciting evening of Tigers Baseball.

Education
Kids are our future, and nothing is more important than a solid education.
The Tigers reach out to bring special educational programs to schools, recognize
good students and even send a few deserving high school scholars on to college.
An Opportunity of a Lifetime
A college scholarship can be an opportunity of a lifetime. Two deserving
students receive a scholarship each year to the college or university of their choice.
Alonzo King receives the Willie Horton Scholarship from
Willie Horton, Detroit Tigers Foundation Manager Jordan Field,
Northwestern High School Principal Patricia Pickett and Robin
Ferriby of the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan.
Willie Horton Scholarship
In honor of hometown hero and Northwestern High
School graduate Willie Horton, the Tigers award an
annual scholarship in his name to a graduating senior
from Northwestern High School. The Willie Horton
Scholarship, administered by the Community
Foundation of Southeast Michigan, is awarded to
a strong academic achiever, leader and volunteer.
Ordoñez Family Scholarship
Created by Tigers outfielder
Magglio Ordoñez and his wife
Dagly, the Ordoñez Family Scholarship awards an
annual scholarship to a student from Southwest
Detroit. Established in 2008, the Ordoñez Family
Scholarship is awarded to a student who shows strong
community leadership and academic achievement.
A New Excitement for Reading
When a Detroit Tigers player visits a school to read to kids, excitement
about reading skyrockets. Through the Detroit Free Press’ state-wide
literacy program Newspapers in Education, 100,000 students receive
free reading materials about baseball and other important life lessons.
Tigers players and front office staff visit schools to read stories and
inspire the kids.
A Special Day for Kids Who Keep Schools Safe
Tigers pitcher Nate Robertson shares his love of reading
with students at St. Patrick Elementary School in White Lake, Michigan.
06
Education
Thousands of local children help keep their schools safe by serving as safety patrol members.
The Detroit Tigers thank them for their service at Safety Patrol Day – a 50 year tradition. Nearly
6,000 safety patrol and service squad members attend a game courtesy of the Detroit Tigers.
Kids Use Creativity to Honor Jackie Robinson
Jackie Robinson’s debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers
in 1947 ended 80 years of baseball segregation. Each
year, the Tigers invite local children to participate in
the Jackie Robinson Art, Essay and Poetry contest to
keep Jackie’s memory alive.
By expressing themselves through these creative
avenues, students better understand Jackie’s spirit and
his tremendous impact on our society. The winning
children appear at a special pre-game ceremony, and
then enjoy the game with their family and teacher.
Tigers outfielder Curtis Granderson visits with contest winners.

A “Great” Day to
Keep Kids Violence Free
Leah Spivey, Bates Academy
Learning to avoid using violence to solve problems is
imperative for children. The Tigers donate more than
1,500 tickets to area students who graduate from the
Gang Resistance Education and Training
(G.R.E.A.T.) Program, a school curriculum aimed at
keeping kids away from gangs and violence. Students
are treated with a special visit from Tigers Manager
Jim Leyland and officers from the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco and Firearms.

Community
The Tigers thank the 3 million fans within our community, and our
players and staff strive to give back to the community that supports them.
For a few special days during the cold Michigan
January, you won’t find the Detroit Tigers at Comerica
Park. The team, along with coaches, broadcasters and
front office staff hit the road for the Winter Caravan
to visit fans and raise funds for charitable causes.
Players can be found reading to elementary school
children, bowling to raise funds, visiting kids in the
hospital and attending public events in the community.
Each year the Tigers visit sixteen to twenty cities,
touching the lives of over 10,000 to 13,000 fans while
raising money along the way.

Tigers Prowl the Streets
to Raise Funds for Kids
Detroit became “TigerTown”
over the summer when nearly
100, four-foot tall tiger sculptures were displayed along the
streets of metro Detroit. Local artists decorated the
sculptures for the TigerTown fundraiser, hosted
by the Detroit Tigers Foundation and the Children’s
Charities Coalition. The tigers were then auctioned,
raising more than $300,000. Tigers President, CEO
and General Manger David Dombrowski, his wife
Karie Ross as well as players and their wives served as
volunteers and honorary co-chairs.

The Spirit of Volunteerism
The spirit of volunteering runs deep through the Tigers organization – a spirit that
players want to instill in the youth of our community. Outfielder Curtis Granderson and pitcher Nate Robertson are spokesmen for the Action Team program,
which encourages youth to volunteer. The players speak to the students about the
importance of serving their community and later honor them during a pre-game
ceremony at Comerica Park.
Foster Children Cheer on their Home Team
Three hundred young fans from the Child Welfare League of America (CWLA)
attended a Tigers game, compliments of catcher Vance Wilson’s family charity,
the Wilsons3 Foundation.
Vance, Bridget and Peyton Wilson award the CWLA $2,500 from the Wilsons3 Foundation.
Healthy Habits Start Early
With childhood obesity sacrificing the quality of life for more and more children, Detroit Tigers head athletic trainer
Kevin Rand and his staff invite more than 100 local children to Comerica Park to learn about healthy habits for a day.
Through this league-wide program known as Promoting a Lifetime of Activity for Youth (PLAY), children challenge
themselves during on-field clinics and learn important techniques to get in shape and stay healthy. The kids are
inspired by a special appearance by outfielder Curtis Granderson, who shares his personal tips for staying healthy.

Holiday Cheer
The holidays are a special time for the Detroit Tigers
family, and they enjoy sharing their holiday cheer
with others. Each year, the Tigers treat a group of
underprivileged children to a holiday feast and
special evening of
gifts and surprises.
Words of encouragement from a Tigers
player and a visit
from PAWS make a
memorable holiday
for the children.
A Tigers Game
for Every Child
Every child should experience the excitement of a Detroit
Tigers baseball game. That’s why the Detroit Tigers donate
nearly 70,000 tickets annually to less fortunate children in
our community through the Detroit Tigers Foundation and
the Major League Baseball Commissioner’s Initiative for
Kids Ticket Donation Programs.
Among the 600 organizations that received
$1.2 million worth of donated tickets:
• Boys and Girls Club
• Children’s Hospital of Michigan
• City of Detroit Head Start Program
• Coalition on Temporary Shelter
• Southwest Detroit Little League
• Special Olympics
• Think Detroit PAL
• Youth Development Commission

Special Fans

For fans facing life-threatening
illnesses, their wish may be to meet
a Detroit Tigers coach, get a special
visit in the hospital from a player,
watch batting practice from the field
or hang out with PAWS. For a day,
the Tigers make these dreams a reality
through the Dreams Come True
program. The fans’ special time with
the team just might be the inspiration
to keep fighting.
The Tigers make dreams come true for individuals
who contact us with special wish requests and
through the following organizations:
• Make-A-Wish Foundation
• Leukemia and Lymphoma Society
• Rosemary A. Hockney Memorial Foundation
• Children’s Hospital of Michigan
“For one moment my dad got to forget
about being sick and enjoyed a dream
that few get to share. The moment I got
to share with my dad was a memory
that will always be with us.”
Brent L. Beard
SON OF RONALD BEARD
“Even with a rained-out game, the outing was a true success!
In fact, when we jokingly asked 5-year old Caleb who won, he shouted,
“Tigers!” Obviously, he had so much fun being treated so special that
he didn't realize the game was canceled!”
Molly Melamed
FOUNDER/EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, CAMP CASEY
“Christine was so thrilled to be permitted
to go on the field, meet players, receive
very special and personal items, and
enjoy a game. It was a special evening
that lifted her spirits and will help her
cope with the realities of the cancer she
is fighting day-to-day.”

Our Nation’s Heroes
The Tigers are thankful for our fans serving our country
and salute them for the sacrifices they make for our freedom.
A New Friend at Selfridge
Air National Guard Base
Tigers pitcher Jeremy Bonderman and his family purchased
a military themed Tiger named “Sarge,” from the TigerTown
fundraiser and donated it to Selfridge Air National Guard
Base in Harrison Township, Michigan. Bonderman
personally delivered Sarge to the base, and spent some
quality time with members of our military.
Salute to Our Troops
The Detroit Tigers salute the U.S. military during an
emotional tribute game on Independence Day. One of our
country’s military heroes throws out the ceremonial first
pitch, and a joint-military choir from Selfridge Air National
Guard Base leaves the crowd in awe with a rendition of the
National Anthem. The seventh inning stretch is brightened
by another patriotic tune. A surprise fly-over by F-16 jets
from Selfridge also leaves fans reminded of the great sacrifices
U.S. troops make to defend our freedom.

Tigers Favorites
Raise Foundation Funds
Who knows the Detroit Tigers players better than
anyone? Their wives. The Tiger Wives put this special
skill to work to raise money for the Detroit Tigers
Foundation. They personally pack baskets with their
husbands’ favorite things – from magazines and
movies, to baseball memorabilia and gift cards to
their favorite place to eat. The baskets are auctioned
online through the My Favorite Things Charity
Auction, raising nearly $4,000.
Tigers Wives
The Tigers Wives aren’t afraid to roll up their
sleeves and make a real difference in our community.
A Day when Kids
with Cancer are Just Kids
New Blue Jeans Take Away
the Back to School Blues
For one special day, kids with cancer can just be kids.
More than 80 children and their families enjoy ballpark
food, ride the Ferris wheel, get their faces painted,
play with mascot PAWS and watch a Detroit Tigers
game at Comerica Park. The Boots n’ Baseball Party,
hosted in partnership with the American Cancer
Society, features some special visiting time and words
of encouragement from the Tigers Wives, and even a
surprise appearance by a few Tigers players.
We take it for granted that every child has jeans to
wear when school is back in session, but unfortunately
some kids need our help. Lily Polanco, wife of second
baseman Placido Polanco, takes the lead on a
campaign to collect jeans and school supplies with
the Assistance League of Southeastern Michigan
through the Operation School Bell program. The
Detroit Tigers, colleagues at the Ilitch-owned
companies, Gardner-White, Fox 2 and Tigers fans
collect enough jeans and school supplies to send
1,000 local children back to school with smiles on
their faces.
A Team Racing for a Cure
A six year tradition, the Tigers Wives walk in the
Annual Susan G. Komen Detroit Race for the Cure,®
locally presented by the Barbara Ann Karmanos
Cancer Institute. The walk starts at Comerica Park,
home of the Detroit Tigers, with 30,000 walkers.
After the walk, the Tigers Wives honor the team
with the most new participants with complimentary
Tigers tickets.
A Scoop of Ice Cream
Goes a Long Way
Creating a skilled workforce is essential for the
prosperity of Detroit. The Tigers wives raise money
to train workers by scooping ice cream for an evening
at the Ben & Jerry’s Partnershop located near Comerica
Park. The shop operates in partnership with nonprofit organization Goodwill Industries, which trains
and provides employment opportunities for young
people who face barriers to employment.

History and Culture
The many cultures of Detroit Tigers players and staff help make them one of the greatest
teams in baseball. The team invites fans, friends and neighbors to celebrate these cultures.
Permanent Fixture
Celebrates Legacy of
Norman “Turkey” Stearnes
During an emotional ceremony, a permanent plaque
was dedicated to Detroit Stars player Norman
“Turkey” Stearnes. A Negro Leagues leader in nearly
every batting category, Stearnes was the first Detroit
Stars player ever enshrined in the National Baseball
Hall of Fame. Everyone attending the ceremony,
including more than 200 schoolchildren, learned
about the significant role Stearnes and his fellow
Negro League teammates played in the development
of our national pastime.
(Opposite) Tigers owner Michael Ilitch, Wendy Lewis of Major
League Baseball, members of the Stearnes family and Tigers
President, CEO, and General Manger David Dombrowski enjoy

¡Fiesta Tigres!
The Tigers celebrate the collective achievements
of Latin and Hispanic players each year with
¡Fiesta Tigres! at Comerica Park. Fans of all
backgrounds enjoy special cultural activities,
including live Latin music, salsa dancing and
Hall of Fame exhibits celebrating Latin and
Hispanic players. Several Tigers players team
up to purchase more than 200 tickets for
underprivileged children and families from
the Hispanic community. Fans cheer for their
favorite Latin and Hispanic players during a
special pre-game ceremony.
Tigers pitcher Joel Zumaya and wife, Rachel
celebrate ¡Fiesta Tigres! with young baseball players

Tigers Pay Tribute to Detroit’s “Stars”
The annual Negro Leagues Weekend at Comerica Park pays homage to the talented players of Negro
League Baseball. Tigers players proudly wear the uniforms of the Detroit Stars team during a tribute
game. Players including Marcus Thames, Curtis Granderson, and Gary Sheffield invite inner-city youth
baseball players to join in the celebration by purchasing more than 130 tickets to the tribute game for
these deserving athletes.
Fans also take center stage in the celebration during the “Detroit Stars” singing contest. More than
300 contestants are narrowed down to two finalists who perform at Comerica Park following the
tribute game. Fans crown the best singer the “Detroit Star.”

community with a focus on youth,
education and recreation.
The Foundation aims to enhance
lives through the game of baseball.
In its first full year of giving, the
