“The Amazin’ Mets Foundation generously supports the Carter Burden Network with an annual grant to support meal programs that combat food insecurity amongst older adults,” Patricia Mays, Director of Development and Communications at the Carter Burden Network, tells The Daily.

Senior Smiles is just one of multiple programs the Foundation organizes in support of communities. You don’t have to be a baseball fan to appreciate its good works.

The Amazin’ Mets Foundation is led by Alex Cohen.

The Amazin’ Mets Foundation is committed to providing needed services and opportunities to children, families, and underserved groups in our neighborhoods and communities near Citi Field.

Together we can inspire change and make a lasting impact on and off the field.

Mission Statement: The Amazin’ Mets Foundation

“It’s an important part of being involved with a baseball team, the community cares about it, and we care about the communities,” Mets owner Steve Cohen adds on the Foundation’s website.
