Ohio 4-H Youth Development Night at the Ballpark

The 4-H programs of Hamilton, Warren, and Clermont counties are excited to be partnering with the Cincinnati Reds to support programs that will empower youth to lead for a lifetime! In 4-H, we believe in developing young people who are confident, hard-working, determined, responsible and compassionate.

On Friday, May 24th at the 7:10pm game against the LA Dodgers, the Cincinnati Reds will donate a portion of the proceeds from each ticket sold through this link back to our organization! On this City Connect Friday, be sure to stick around for the Friday Night Fireworks! We hope to see you at the game in support of positive youth development in Southwest Ohio!
