BIRMINGHAM BARONS AND DALE’S SEASONING TEAM UP FOR
KID ONE TRANSPORT PROMOTION
Pitch One for Kid One raises $9,000 in 2012
Birmingham, AL — The Birmingham Barons and Dale’s Seasoning have partnered together for the past seven years to help with the
essential transportation needs of local area children with their “Pitch One for Kid One” fund-raising promotion. With their donation of
$9000 in 2012, the Barons and Dale’s Seasoning have donated a total of $52,500 over the past seven years.
Kid One Transport is an innovative program that has served the children of Alabama for over fifteen years, while being the
only nonprofit transportation provider of its kind in Alabama. Since its inception in 1997, they have provided more than 220,000
transports, which ensure that children receive the medical care they need. Kid One serves expectant mothers and children with a wide
variety of health care needs ranging from routine medical checkups, dental screenings and mental/emotional health services, to critical,
specialized care such as radiation, chemotherapy and dialysis.
“The Barons are proud of our continued partnership with
Dale’s Seasoning to benefit Kid One Transport,” said
Jonathan Nelson, General Manager of the Birmingham
Barons. “We feel it’s very important to give back to the
community and the “Pitch One for Kid One” promotion
raises essential funds for an extremely important cause.
Reaching the $50,000 milestone this season was a
tremendous achievement and we look forward to
continued success in the future.”
Alan Seigel, Vice President of Dale’s Sauces, Inc. said,
“Our Dale’s corporate family is proud to be able to help
these children and families get transportation to medical
appointments, therapies and treatments. Kid One
