HOUSTON, TX - The Houston Astros have announced a multi-year partnership with Cotton Holdings, Inc., who will become the newest member of the Community Leaders program.

As part of the agreement, Cotton Holdings, Inc.. a Houston-based company, will support the charitable efforts of the Astros Foundation, which includes providing financial support for youth baseball and softball programs.

“The Astros Foundation is proud to have Cotton Holdings join us as a Community Leader,” said Paula Harris, Executive Director of the Astros Foundation. “The causes that they are passionate about align so greatly with the key pillars of the Astros Foundation. We are excited to partner with them and we look forward to continuing our mission to make a positive impact on Houston and the surrounding communities.”

As part of the agreement, a sign for Cotton Holdings will be installed above the left-field wall inside Minute Maid Park, alongside the other members of the Astros Community Leaders program.

“Cotton Holdings is honored to partner with our hometown Houston Astros and the Astros Foundation to further support the needs of our community,” said Bryan Michalsky, Chief Financial Officer at Cotton Holdings, Inc. “The Astros efforts go well beyond the field and, as a lifelong Astros fan, it’s exciting, yet humbling to now be able to support not only the team, but also the city that is home to both our corporate headquarters and a large portion of our workforce.”

The Astros Community Leaders program was developed by Owner and Chairman Jim Crane as an opportunity to provide the next generation of young athletes with the environment and resources they need to support physical and mental development on and off the field. With Cotton Holdings’ participation, the Astros Foundation will support Houston youth with baseball and softball leagues throughout the city with all necessary equipment, uniforms, and coaching at no cost to participating families.

Cotton Holdings has provided local, national, and international comprehensive, commercial disaster recovery and turnkey workforce solutions to clients for the past 25 years.
