Mosaic to Present "Home Runs for Food" Check for Local Food Banks at Saturday, March 23, Rays Spring Training Game

WHAT:         

The Mosaic Company joined by the United Way of Charlotte County will present a more than $12,000 donation to the Harry Chapin Food Bank just prior to the start of Saturday's Tampa Bay Rays spring training game at Charlotte Sports Park. The check presentation is being made in celebration of Mosaic's third annual Home Runs for Food partnership with the Harry Chapin Food Bank and the Tampa Bay Rays to help feed hungry families in Charlotte County. For every home run hit by the Rays, Mosaic contributes $500 to local food relief efforts.  With this year's donation, Mosaic will have contributed a total of more than $40,000 from Home Runs for Food to Harry Chapin since 2010.
