quarter million dollars to Little League®Baseball and Softball.

during bonus time. Plus, whether in Cleveland or at home, T-Mobile
packs on the fun for all the fans.
- Why it matters: Americans love them some baseball, and
$250K goes a loooong way to help more kids have access to America’s
game…and THAT means a better connection to community, hard work and
sportsmanship.
- Who it’s for: Baseball fans of all ages.
Big league love for Little League® teams. T-Mobile (NASDAQ:
TMUS) is the Official Wireless Provider of Major League Baseball,
and they’re going BIG for MLB All-Star Week by donating at least
$250K to Little League Baseball and Softball at this year’s
T-Mobile Home Run Derby. MLB players can drive the total higher
with every dinger, as the Un-carrier will donate an extra $1K per
home run and $5K per magenta bonus ball home run – which could be
more than $450K if players hit even as many regulation home runs as
they did last year! Funds raised will help make local Little League
programs more accessible for kids and families around the country
through equipment grants and financial assistance to help make
youth participation more affordable. This comes on top of the $100K
T-Mobile and CEO John Legere donated in April to support local
leagues rebuilding in Puerto Rico.
The Un-carrier is also connecting fans to the game they love
allll week long with the T-Mobile Home Run Derby Bracket Challenge,
chances to meet MLB All-Stars, design their own free custom hats,
get behind the scenes access and more.
“We love showing up big for baseball fans – and at this year’s
T-Mobile Home Run Derby, it’s no different. We’re all in,
supporting our future baseball and softball sluggers with a
$250K-plus donation to Little League, making America’s game more
accessible for kids and families around the country,” said John
Legere, T-Mobile CEO. “And of course, we’re here for the fans, with
so much fun on the ground in Cleveland and on social, so everyone
can get in on the action. Let’s play ball!”
