Mississippi Braves Caring for Kids
The Mississippi Braves, as well as our parent organization, the Atlanta Braves want to make a difference in our community. Winning is obviously our goal, but just as important is the mark the Braves leave on the lives of our fans, especially our young fans. The more involved we are in the community, the more enriched our lives and the lives of our fans will be. The Braves connection and commitment to our neighbors reach far beyond the walls of Trustmark Park and Turner Field; it extends to the hearts and homes of the many people that support our team. We will work rigorously to improve the quality of life and to share our love of baseball with our community. It is for this reason that we hold such events as the kids’ programs detailed below. Please join us this season in making a difference in the life of a child…
