Building Community one event at a time.

We Care Wednesday

AURORA has been selected to participate in We Care Wednesdays at NBT Bank Stadium in Syracuse, the home of the Syracuse Mets! The game will take place on Wednesday, August 20th, with the first pitch happening at 6:35 p.m.

For every ticket sold through this link, our organization will receive $5. That will allow us to fund more opportunities for our members. If we are able to sell the most tickets during the We Care Wednesday campaign, we’ll get to throw out the first pitch at the game!

Join us as we watch the Mets take on the Indianapolis Indians, the AAA affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates. We hope to get as many employees, members, and families as we can out to the ballpark to enjoy an evening of minor league baseball.

And if you can’t make it, please pass along the link to friends and family!
