Houston Astros and Astros Foundation to raise funds for hurricane relief efforts
HOUSTON, Texas - The Houston Astros and The Astros Foundation will be raising money for hurricane relief efforts across Florida, Cuba and Puerto Rico.
This weekend, Sept. 30-Oct. 2, the Astros host the Tampa Bay Rays, while much of Florida will begin recovery from category 4 Hurricane Ian. During the three-game series, proceeds from the Share2Care 50/50 raffle inside Minute Maid will go towards hurricane relief efforts, not only for Florida but also in support of the most recent hurricanes that have also significantly impacted Puerto Rico and Cuba.
In addition to Share2Care, fans who are interested in donating can do so at Astros.com/relief. The Astros Foundation will be collecting donations in support of their relief efforts for the six remaining games of the regular season.
"We remember how grateful we were for the support Houston received from across the country, especially from Florida, during Hurricane Harvey in 2017, and it is now our opportunity to step up and support them in their time of need," said Paula Harris, Executive Director of the Astros Foundation and Senior VP, Community Affairs.
