Holiday Magic with the Mets

PORT ST LUCIE, Fla. – The St. Lucie Mets have teamed up with the United Way of St. Lucie County to provide a holiday to remember for a group of kids on the community.

On Tuesday, December 14th (4:30-6:30 p.m.), the Mets will treat 10 kids K-2 to a holiday shopping spree at Target in Tradition. The kids will be paired with a Mets front office staff member, along with the mascot Klutch, who will help guide them through the store. The children will also receive another gift card to take home to their families.

After shopping the Mets staff will take the kids to Popstroke for a pizza party with food and drinks generously donated by Popstroke.

Funds for the event are being provided by the Amazin’ Mets Foundation.

“Holiday Magic with the Mets is a new initiative for us and we could not be more excited,” Kasey Blair, St. Lucie Mets Assistant General Manager, said. “Anytime the Mets can help kids in our community it is a rewarding and important cause. Hopefully we are providing these kids a holiday memory they will cherish for years to come.”

"On behalf of St. Lucie County, I am so grateful for the generous support the Mets have provided to the United Way and the County by way of the Holiday Magic with the Mets program," Matt Baum, St. Lucie County United Way board member, said. "It makes me proud to see the County help bring these two great organizations together and provide such an amazing opportunity for the youth of our community."
