“We’re so grateful to the men and women who protect us and ensure the freedoms that we enjoy here,” said Richard Hart, co-owner of Harts Services. “We’re honored to be able to give something back to them. Everyone who serves is a hero, and this is an opportunity for us to let them know how much we appreciate their sacrifice. It’s also a chance to remind others that it’s important to say thanks in any way you can.”

Each Hometown Hero will watch the game with three friends or family members from the exclusive Commencement Bank Summit Club and is introduced to fans from the Cheney Stadium field between innings. One of the eight Hometown Heroes will win a free water heater from Harts Services at the end of the season.

• Sunday, May 14;

Harts Services will also donate $100 for every Rainiers home win in 2023 to the Wounded Warrior Project, a nonprofit organization that improves the lives of millions of wounded service members through mental health programs, career counseling, long-term rehabilitative care, and advocacy efforts. In 2022, Harts Services donated $3,400 to the project.
