homerunsforheroes2Wednesday at FirstEnergy Park, we’ll have a special check presentation ceremony from OceanFirst Foundation as we wrap up year one of Home Runs for Heroes, a unique program which tied local military-based charities to home runs from BlueClaws players.

Every time a BlueClaws player hit a home run at FirstEnergy Park this year, OceanFirst Foundation made a donation of $1,000 to a local military-based non-profit. Final donation tallies below:

2B VetGroup $2,000
