During each Friday night Trash Pandas game in 2024, the organization will recognize a very special individual or family in which at least one member serves North Alabama and the Tennessee Valley! The individual chosen will be honored on the field as a Rocket City Trash Pandas Community Hero! The Rocket City Community Heroes program is presented by Thompson Tractor.
Foundation & Mission
The Trash Pandas Foundation is the non-profit charitable arm of the Rocket City organization. Operated by our community relations team, we spearhead local outreach around North Alabama through initiatives such as Mascot Appearances, Jersey Auctions, Ballpark Tours, Team Experiences, and more!
The Trash Pandas Foundation is a 501c3 organization dedicated to educating and promoting healthy lifestyles through sport and to positively impact communities in the North Alabama region.
Community Initiatives
Through jersey auctions, clubhouse sales, non-baseball events, concessions, and more, the non-profit Trash Pandas Foundation was able to donate over $50,000 to local organizations all around North Alabama last year! We'd encourage you to check out our 2023 Community Impact Report, and we look forward to a tremendous 2024!
