All-Star Raffle for the Reds and the MLB

Cincinnati Reds bring in over $249K in raffle proceeds during MLB’s All-Star Game events.

Vancouver, BC - The National League may have lost the 2015 MLB All-Star Game, but the MLB and host team Cincinnati Reds came out winners when they broke all records in generating over $239,000 with their Split the Pot raffle.

Fans attending the All-Star Game and Home Run Derby lined up to purchase Split the Pot raffle tickets throughout Great American Ballpark as Pointstreak 5050, the Reds’ long-time raffle partner, helped to drive the pot to record levels. 

Pointstreak 5050 President Kevin Lovitt stated, “We are extremely proud of our partnership with the Reds and the Reds Community Fund. All credit must go to them as they have always pushed to drive the raffle and to make a truly lasting and unparalleled impact on the Cincinnati community.”

Altogether, the Reds raised over $120K at Sunday’s All-Star Futures Game and Monday’s Home Run Derby, finishing off with another massive $118,890 in raffle proceeds last night at the 86th MLB All-Star Game. Fans will be sure to remember this one at the Reds’ first post-ASG home game on Friday.
