AAPI Heritage Month: Mets, Partners Give Out $10,000 Grants To Asian-Owned Businesses In New York City

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- The New York Mets have been struggling to score runs of late, but off the field they hit one out of the park Monday, showing their support for small businesses in recognition of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month.

There was applause, fist bumps, and big smiles at Citi Field as Mr. and Mrs. Met stood beside team president Sandy Alderson to celebrate and prop up Asian-owned small business in the city.

"We hope the grants you received today from Fiserv will help you as you have weathered the pandemic and now position yourselves for reopening," Alderson said.
