Between some folks rounding up a little bit and employer matching (remember that is a thing for some employers, so you can check if yours is one of them!), we've reached over $12,000 raised to benefit The National Domestic Violence this year. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! 💖

We raised over $10,000 to benefit survivors of domestic violence this month. To every single person that was a part of it, we extend our deepest and most heartfelt gratitude. Thank you.

This season certainly didn’t end the way we wanted, but the way you all show up every year for Dollars for Dingers reminds us that this is all about so much more than what the Mets do on the field. As the great @slangsonsports.bsky.social would say: Baseball is the best (even when it hurts).

This home run was not meaningless to US because it was Dollars for Dingers home run number 33 AND AND AND it brought our Dollars for Dingers 2025 grand total over $10,000!!! So at least there's that. We're so proud of you all. You rock. 💙🧡
