The Seattle Mariners are connecting with its local youth community by hosting the Grand Slam Summer Challenge, open but not limited to Kids Club members. The campaign features a series of free events throughout Seattle, promoting volunteerism, physical activity, and reading all summer long.

Led by fan-favorite Mariner Moose, kids had the opportunity to engage in reading, storytime, and other activities promoting literacy at Burien Library on July 9. They also spent time learning about the importance of staying active, joining Mariners Training Center Trainer Forrest Snow for a trail walk in Bellevue on July 17.

Here are additional opportunities for kids to get involved this summer:

• In partnership with Backpack Brigade, the Mariners offer accessibility for their youngest fans to get involved in their local community by bringing non-perishable food items for donation support of local children struggling with food insecurity.
