We’re thrilled to announce that Amerant Bank has embarked on a multi-year partnership with the Miami Marlins, becoming their Hometown Bank. This collaboration isn’t just about business; it’s about embracing the vibrant history and culture of our beloved South Florida community. As part of this partnership, we’re teaming up with the Marlins to introduce the “Marlins Saves presented by Amerant” program. This collaboration isn’t just about baseball; it’s about making a positive impact and creating opportunities for our local youth to thrive and succeed.
So, what exactly is The Saves Program?
The Saves Program celebrates every time a Marlins pitcher records a save at home during the 2024 regular season by Amerant Bank donating to the Miami Marlins Foundation after each one. With an impressive 38 home saves recorded by the Marlins in 2023, we can’t wait to see even more terrific moments on the field in 2024.
Let’s dive deeper into the Miami Marlins Foundation:
The Miami Marlins Foundation is dedicated to making a difference by providing opportunities for local youth to stay active, excel academically, and develop essential leadership skills. Here’s a glimpse into the Foundation’s work:
• Youth Baseball & Softball: Through sports-based youth development programs, the Foundation teaches baseball and softball fundamentals while promoting social and emotional learning. With over 7,000 kids impacted annually, the program is shaping the future of our community.
• Empowerment: This pillar focuses on providing youth with access and opportunities through scholarships, leadership development, and educational resources. Over 13,000 students directly benefit from these initiatives each year, paving the way for a brighter future.
• Wellness: The Foundation addresses challenges hindering children from thriving in school and recreational activities. With over 5 million meals distributed annually and more than 4,800 individuals provided with mental health resources, the Wellness program is making a tangible difference in our community’s well-being.
We’re proud to stand alongside the Miami Marlins Foundation in its mission to uplift and empower the youth of South Florida. Together, we’re not just playing a game but building a better future for generations to come on and off the field.
