Tampa Bay Rays celebrate Jackie Robinson Day with $100,000 in donations

In 2020, the Tampa Bay Rays, in association with the Tampa Bay Rowdies, established the Racial Equality Grant Fund. It was an initiative meant to help distribute funds among local groups that aimed to end racial inequality and each year five new organizations would be selected to evenly split $100,000.

For 2022, the groups selected to receive $20,000 each are:

Arts Conservatory for Teens: an organization dedicated to improving the lives of teens by providing arts education to under-served school systems and communities.
Brain Expansions Scholastic Training: which aims to prepare youth for a future as medica professionals.
