HOME RUNS FOR THE HOMELESS
RETURNS!
Once again the Rockford
Riverhawks have partnered with Stanley Steemer to support the Rock
River Chapter of the American Red Cross with their Home Runs for the
Homeless program! Each time a Riverhawks player hits a Home
Run in their new ballpark, Stanley Steemer will be making a donation
to the Rock River Chapter to help serve the homeless population
through the Nancy J Smith Homeless Shelter, located at 809 Cedar St
in Rockford. Show your support for Stanley Steemer, the
Rockford Riverhawks and the American Red Cross and root for your
favorite player to hit one out to support the Home Runs for the
Homeless program!
