The New York Mets held a special ceremony to recognize Queens small businesses ahead of Tuesday night’s game against the St. Louis Cardinals at Citi Field.
The Mets extended hundreds of complimentary tickets to small businesses that received grant funding through the New York City Economic Development Corporation’s Queens Small Business Grant Program, which provided vital resources to small businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The initiative was made possible by a generous donation of $17.5 million from the Steven and Alexandra Cohen Foundation, Inc., a nonprofit organization committed to inspiring philanthropy and community service.
