CINCINNATI REDS NAMED RECIPIENT OF THE 2023 “ALLAN H. SELIG AWARD FOR PHILANTHROPIC EXCELLENCE”

The Cincinnati Reds have been named recipient of the 2023 "Allan H. Selig Award for Philanthropic Excellence," Major League Baseball announced today through the MLB Together platform. The honor recognizes the organization’s annual “Reds Community Makeover” program, which serves as a community resource to provide revitalization efforts in underserved communities throughout the greater Cincinnati region.

The annual Reds Community Fund initiative, now in its 14^th year, initially began as a field renovation project with P&G and has since transformed into a massive community-wide undertaking. As a result of the work through the annual Community Makeover program the Reds Community Fund, along with P&G, the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital and GE Aerospace, have invested more than $11 million through cash and in-kind support into some of Cincinnati’s most underserved communities since its inception in 2010.

Over the past two years, the Reds Community Fund and its partners focused on revitalizing the historic village of Lincoln Heights, Ohio. Incorporated in 1946, Lincoln Heights was the first African American self-governing community north of the Mason-Dixon line.
