The Hits Keep on Coming: T-Mobile on Track to Donate $1 Million to Little League® in First Year of Partnership

More ball for all! T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) today announced it will donate $2K per home run hit at the inaugural T-Mobile Little League Home Run Derby to Little League® Baseball and Softball?pledging to hit at least $1 MILLION in total donations in its first year of partnership. All that money will fund participation grants to make programs more affordable for kids and families. The Un-carrier's commitment includes the $642K donated at the T-Mobile Home Run Derby at MLB All-Star Week, as well as the $100K that T-Mobile and CEO John Legere donated in April to support recovering leagues in Puerto Rico.

Announced in April, the T-Mobile Little League Home Run Derby gives youth baseballers and softballers the chance to compete and showcase their long-ball skills. Now, the top eight qualifiers in both baseball and softball will compete for the top titles at Historic Bowman Field in Williamsport, PA on Saturday, August 17^th at 4 p.m. ET?and if the dingers are dinging, they can drive the total donations to well over a million dollars!

"Little League is a great American tradition, and every kid across the country deserves a chance to play. That's why T-Mobile is committed to giving no less than $1 million to Little League to ensure more kids get access to the game they love," said T-Mobile CEO John Legere. "I'm hoping for some major highlight-reel material during the inaugural T-Mobile Home Run Derby Championship, because these junior sluggers could raise the total even higher. Now step up to the plate and send it downtown!"

"Over the last three months, local Little Leaguers from all over the United States have had the tremendous opportunity to participate in the T-Mobile Little League Home Run Derby and now eight of the top baseball and softball home run hitters will get to showcase their skills during the opening weekend of the Little League Baseball World Series," said Stephen D. Keener, Little League President and CEO. "Thanks to the incredible support from T-Mobile, the Little League program will become even more accessible for children in communities everywhere. We are grateful for the strong commitment that T-Mobile has made and are looking forward to the Championship event on August 17."

Whether fans are heading to Williamsport to root for their Derby competitor or attending the Little League Baseball World Series, T-Mobile welcomes all fans to Historic Bowman Field on Saturday, August 17^th. Fans can snag T-Mobile game day bags at the ballpark entry gates while supplies last and design cheer cards at the main concourse, or head to the Little League Baseball World Series Family Fun Zone to grab custom pins and snap photos.
