PONIES TAB TWO CHARITIES

Ponies & Tylicki Tab Two Charities for Donation

BINGHAMTON, NY – The Binghamton Rumble Ponies will present Mirabito Philanthropy and The Mercy House of the Southern Tier with $2,500 thanks to contributions from Minor League Baseball Charities and its connection to the Charles K. Murphy Patriot Award. Richard Tylicki, the team’s Director of Stadium Operations and a Lieutenant Colonel in the Pennsylvania Army National Guard, was honored with the award this year and is entitled to direct $2,500 towards any charity of his choice.
Tylicki and Rumble Ponies Managing Director John “JB” Bayne will present Mirabito President & CEO Joe Mirabito and The Mercy House Executive Director Linda Cerra with checks for $1,250 on Thursday, December 21 at 2:30 PM at Mirabito’s headquarters in The Metrocenter in downtown Binghamton.
The Charles K. Murphy Patriot Award is presented annually to a team or individual in Minor League Baseball for outstanding support of the United States Armed Forces and veterans, both at the ballpark and in the community. The award was created in 2016 in honor of the longtime Florida State League president and U.S. Army veteran who passed away February 21, 2015, at the age of 83.
Tylicki will begin his fifth deployment in January when he departs for Kuwait. He will miss the Rumble Ponies’ 2018 season.
