Seattle's Hometown Cruise
Line gives back to the community with the Seattle Mariners
SEATTLE, Oct. 6, 2017 /CNW/ -- Holland America Line
Vice President, Public Relations, Sally
Andrews presented a check for $25,000 to Seattle Children's Hospital's
Uncompensated Care Fund Saturday, Sept. 23,
2017, at the Seattle Mariners' home game at Safeco Field.
The company made the donation as part of its partnership with the
Seattle Mariners Major League Baseball team and the K's for Kids
program that debuted during the 2014 baseball season.
With K's for Kids, for each strikeout (represented as a "K" on a
baseball score card) recorded by a Mariners pitcher at Safeco Field
throughout the season, a cash donation was made to reach the
$25,000 donation to Seattle
Children's Hospital. Andrews was joined on the field during
the check presentation by 15-year-old Seattle Children's patient
and cancer survivor Annalise
Haines.
"This year puts our total donation to Seattle Children's
Hospital through K's for Kids since we began the program at
$100,000, and we couldn't be more
proud to partner with an organization like the Seattle Mariners to
make this program such a success," said Orlando Ashford, president, Holland America
Line. "Presenting the $25,000 check
to a courageous superhero like Annalise on behalf of Seattle
Children's is an honor, knowing that it will go toward helping many
other kids in need."
For the past six years, Holland America Line and the Mariners
have enjoyed a partnership that goes beyond the K's for Kids
donation. In addition, Seattle's
Hometown Cruise Line is the presenting sponsor of the Salute to
Those Who Serve program honoring the men and women of the United States military. As well, the line
sponsors Get Well Tours to area hospitals and the annual Fan
Appreciation Night where two lucky fans at that game win Holland
America Line cruises.
Salute to Those Who Serve Military Program
At 26
Mariners home games this season, the Salute to Those Who Serve
program honored some of the men and women of the United States armed forces. During Friday
and Sunday games, a member of the military (active, reserve,
veteran or retired) was recognized on field for his or her service
to our country. Each honoree received four tickets and one parking
pass to the game. Holland America
Line is the presenting sponsor of the program.
Holland America Line Get Well Tours
Holland
America Line is the presenting
sponsor of the Seattle Mariners Get Well Tours, visits to area
hospitals by Mariners players and the Mariner Moose where children
receive photos and autographs and a Holland America Line-branded
sports bag filled with Mariners- and baseball-related items such as
replica baseballs and a stuffed Moose doll.
Holland America Line Fan Appreciation Night
Holland
America Line is the presenting
sponsor of the annual Fan Appreciation Night celebration at Safeco
Field. Traditionally the final Friday home game of each
season, Fan Appreciation Night celebrates the loyalty and support
of Mariners fans with prize drawings throughout the game. As part
of its sponsorship, Holland America Line provides two cruise
giveaways at Fan Appreciation Night.
