Special In-Game Moments, Custom Merchandise,
Virtual Conversations Will Support Boys & Girls Clubs of
America
As the Official Bank of Major League Baseball (MLB), Bank of
America today marked the return of baseball with the launch of
Let’s Rally – a new program that brings fans together to celebrate
the sport’s return.
This season, each time an MLB team rallies from behind in a late
inning, Bank of America will donate $10,000, and will give up to $1
million, to Boys & Girls Clubs of America. And for the second
year, Bank of America has collaborated with MLB players on 30
custom T-shirts available exclusively to its clients, with a
donation going to Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
“Just like so many of our clients who are avid fans, we are
thrilled to have baseball back. The return of America’s pastime
gives us all something to celebrate,” said Meredith Verdone, chief
marketing officer at Bank of America. “We felt that this year, we
couldn’t indulge in baseball without also channeling this
excitement into a way for teams and fans to rally around their
communities, especially those hardest hit by the health crisis. In
this, we are thrilled to expand our long-standing partnership with
Boys & Girls Clubs of America to help children, families and
communities move forward.”
“We are proud of our long-standing partnership with Bank of
America and are grateful for their continued support through the
Let’s Rally program that comes at such a critical time,” said Jim
Clark, president and CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
“This commitment will go a long way in helping our Clubs that have
been significantly impacted by the pandemic – and there is no
better way to bring people together around such an important cause
than through the game of baseball. Thank you to Bank of America and
thank you to Major League Baseball for supporting Boys & Girls
Clubs for the past 24 years.”
Let’s Rally moments This season, every time an MLB team
rallies from being at least two runs behind in the 7th inning or
beyond to win the game, Bank of America will donate $10,000 to Boys
& Girls Clubs of America to help Clubs across the country
continue to address critical needs brought on by the coronavirus,
including food, virtual learning and academic programing.
MLB player-inspired merchandise that gives back With a
deep presence in major league hometowns, Bank of America has again
partnered with MLB and players from all 30 teams to design custom
T-shirts that celebrate each of the teams and their respective
cities. This year, the collaboration’s theme is “Wearing It
Forward.” For each T-shirt purchased by Bank of America clients at
bankofamerica.com/rally through November 30, Bank of America will
donate $7 per shirt, up to $200,000, to Boys & Girls Clubs of
America to benefit Club programs. The MLB players who designed
T-shirts on behalf of the program include:

Open and Courageous Conversations about Equality with MLB
Players As part of its commitment to advance issues of racial
equality and economic opportunity in communities of color, Bank of
America will sponsor a series of conversations designed to help
teach young people about race, equality, diversity and inclusion.
This summer, Bank of America and Boys & Girls Clubs of America
will offer virtual live-streamed events, featuring MLB players who
will talk to the next generation about how teamwork, fairness and
equity – all key elements in baseball – apply to the conversations,
challenges and potential solutions to building a more inclusive,
sustainable future.
