The Tampa Bay Rays, inline with their previous and ongoing social justice initiatives, have responded to the most recent national crisis of safety with public statements and actions.
In announcing the donation, the Rays have issued the following statement:
“We all deserve to be safe - in schools, grocery stores, places of worship, our neighborhoods, houses and America. The most recent mass shootings in Buffalo and Uvalde have shaken us to the core. The Tampa Bay Rays are mourning these heartbreaking tragedies that took the lives of innocent children and adults.
This cannot become normal.
