The Pittsburgh Pirates hosted Manatee Education Foundation Day at LECOM Park on Wednesday, February 28, 2024.

Principals from Bayshore Elementary School, Lincoln Memorial Middle School and Bayshore High School received a check for $5,000 each from Pittsburgh Pirates Charities.

Finally, Braden River High School 11th grader Jacob Mazzone sang the national anthem - and it was quite touching to hear the clapping and shouts of praise from the stands as he walked off of the baseball field.
