MLB Adds To Military Efforts With Sesame Workshop Grant

MLB today is announcing a financial grant to Sesame Workshop in support of "Sesame Street for Military Families," established to support military and veteran families with young children through all the milestones of their lives. With these funds, Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit behind Sesame Street, will expand its resource hub and also build new materials under its COVID-response "Caring For Each Other" umbrella to uniquely address the military population. Additional financial commitments by the Commissioner's Office and MLB teams are being directed to several nonprofit organizations focused on supporting causes benefiting military veterans, active service members and their families.

This support includes extensions of existing MLB partnerships with The Mission Continues, Code of Support Foundation, American Corporate Partners, and SHIFT, as well as funds distributed by clubs to local military-focused community organizations. In total, MLB has committed more than $1M to military-related causes in '20.
