ARLINGTON, Texas, July 17,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Lincoln Avenue Communities
(LAC), a mission-driven acquirer and developer of affordable
housing, continued its partnership with the National Baseball Hall
of Fame by sponsoring a field trip yesterday for Arlington-area children to visit the All-Star
Village during Major League Baseball's All-Star Week.
Twenty young residents from Paddock on Park Row, an affordable housing community owned
by Lincoln Avenue Communities, attended the interactive event at
Choctaw Stadium. Participants explored baseball history and engaged
in a variety of games and clinics with former MLB players and MLB
youth ambassadors.
"Lincoln Avenue Communities strives to foster stronger, more
resilient communities through affordable housing and resident
programming, including for young residents," said LAC
CEO Jeremy Bronfman. "We are proud to partner with Mission
Arlington and the Baseball Hall of Fame to provide this
experience."
The field trip was part of LAC's broader efforts with the
Baseball Hall of Fame to support youth education and development
initiatives across the country, which aim to enrich lower-income
communities. The groups partnered in 2021 to launch an educational
afterschool program for children to learn core-curriculum subjects
through the lens of baseball, based on the Baseball Hall of Fame's
award-winning curriculum.
"Morgan Stanley's ongoing support of programs at the National
Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum enables our educational outreach
and provides instruction and resources to thousands of students
throughout the United States,"
said Josh Rawitch, President of the
National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. "The Museum's
award-winning education curriculum will provide young learners at
Play Ball Park during All-Star Game Week with the chance to
experience a variety of subjects, engaging students and fostering
lifelong exploration. We are excited to continue this partnership
with educational programs at Lincoln Avenue Communities as we
pursue our shared goal of helping students reach their full
potential."
