The New York Yankees have announced that during the entire 2024 baseball season, New York Life will donate $100 to SCAN-Harbor for each strikeout by a Yankees pitcher during regular season home games up to a maximum of $100,000.
Funds will support SCAN-Harbor programs, as the Yankees and New York Life recognize the vitally needed afterschool programming resources for Bronx-based children. As the largest youth service provider in Harlem, East Harlem, and the South Bronx, SCAN-Harbor afterschool programs have an indelible positive impact on the lives of the children served.
SCAN-Harbor and the New York Yankees have been partners serving the Bronx for many years, including the annual community Thanksgiving meal event where hundreds of families are treated to a thanksgiving meal at the Reverend T. Wendell Foster Recreation Center.
SCAN-Harbor serves over 7,600 children, and 1,000 families each year, and provides the highest risk families and children living in Harlem, East Harlem, and the South Bronx with integrated family-focused programming that uses a positive approach, harnesses individual strengths, and fosters responsibility, self-esteem, initiative and the development of life skills.
