CINCINNATI (WXIX) - The families of the Cincinnati Reds and Cleveland Guardians hit the diamond for charity on Monday.

The softball game benefited CASA and the Reds Community Fund.

The goal was to raise awareness and funds to support the following organizations:

• CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children) and their mission of advocating for children in the foster care system.

• Reds Community Fund is dedicated to growing the game and improving the lives of underserved youth across Reds Country.

“I’m so excited to be part of the upcoming charity softball game and support CASA’s and the Reds Community Fund’s incredible missions,” said Jordyn Pagán, wife of Cincinnati Reds pitcher Emilio Pagán. “It’s a great opportunity for our Reds Wives to bring our community together, raise awareness for children and families who need a voice, and make a meaningful impact.”

Last year, through a series of collaborative initiatives (including a charity softball game in Cleveland) the families of the Reds and

Guardians raised a combined $18,500. Reds families contributed $11,000 of that total, helping CASA advocate for children who have experienced abuse or neglect by providing them with a voice in the courtroom and support in finding safe, permanent homes.
