Cheer on the Mets, Help the Red Cross

Come out to Citi Field on Sunday, August 12th when the Mets take on the Atlanta Braves. A portion of ticket sales will benefit the American Red Cross Greater New York Region, which serves NYC, Long Island, the Lower Hudson Valley, and Greenwich, Ct. The nonprofit agency, which provides care and comfort to victims of local fires, floods, power outages and building collapses 6 to 9 times each day - is the busiest Red Cross region in the country.

The Red Cross also provides support and emergency communications to our military members and their families, saves lives through CPR and First Aid courses, and reconnects missing loved ones separated by war or disaster, including Holocaust survivors, through its Restoring Family Links program.

The American Red Cross prevents and alleviates human suffering in the face of emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors. Please support the Red Cross by purchasing your tickets today!

Sit together with friends, family and fellow supporters in the Left Field Reserved, Pepsi Porch and/or Promenade Box seating categories.

A portion of each ticket sold through this online offer will be rebated back to the American Red Cross.

To purchase your tickets today, go to http://www.mets.com/arc
