"The people in Haiti need our help," Ordoñez said. "I'm asking Tigers fans across the country to join me in supporting Haiti after this tragedy."
On the heels of Ordoñez’ generosity, the Detroit Tigers will provide an opportunity for Tigers fans to support the Haitian relief effort as well. The American Red Cross Southeastern Michigan Chapter will be at the gates of Comerica Park during TigerFest on Saturday, January 23 to collect donations. The Tigers Foundation, an affiliate of Ilitch Charities, will match up to $10,000 collected by the Red Cross.
The Tigers will also donate a portion of its proceeds received from the fan photo exhibit at TigerFest. Using green screen technology, fans will have the opportunity to have their picture taken showing them catching a ball in the outfield, standing at home plate in a batting stance or arguing with an umpire at Comerica Park.
