Savannah Bananas Back $1-Per-Blizzard Children’s Hospital Drive After Tennessee Visit

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jul 30

Summary

  • At select Dairy Queen locations on Thursday, at least $1 from every Blizzard sold will go to Children’s Miracle Network to support local children’s hospitals.
  • The donation push follows a recent Tennessee children’s hospital visit by Savannah Bananas players Reese Alexiades and DR Meadows, who handed out Blizzard treats and met young patients.
  • Alexiades and Meadows said the partnership fits the Bananas’ broader mission of using their fast-growing platform to bring fun to baseball, lift children and serve as role models.
  • The players also pushed back on criticism of Banana Ball, saying games are competitive rather than scripted even as the team sells out MLB parks and draws six-figure football-stadium crowds.
