Every Pete Alonso Home Run Will Support Maryland Veterans Through New ‘Homers for Heroes’ Initiative

Tower Federal Credit Union, through its TowerCares Foundation, is partnering with The Alonso Foundation to donate $2,500 for every Pete Alonso home run in support of Maryland veterans

Hear directly from Pete about why supporting veterans is so important to him and Haley, and how every Pete Alonso home run this season will make an impact far beyond the ballpark.

Tower Federal Credit Union, through its TowerCares Foundation, has partnered with The Alonso Foundation to launch Homers for Heroes, a new initiative that turns every Pete Alonso home run into meaningful support for Maryland veterans and military families.

The TowerCares Foundation is donating $2,500 for every home run Alonso hits for the remainder of the 2026 season, a tribute to the No. 25 he wears on his Orioles jersey. The Alonso Foundation will direct those contributions to veteran-serving organizations across Maryland.

The initiative is already making an impact. Since launching on June 8, Alonso has hit six home runs, generating $15,000 in support for Maryland veterans and their families.

Together, TowerCares and The Alonso Foundation are turning every Pete Alonso home run into an opportunity to honor and support Maryland's military heroes.

Tower Federal Credit Union and its TowerCares Foundation have spent decades supporting active-duty military members, veterans and their families through community initiatives, including more than $4 million in charitable donations and the Baltimore Orioles Military Cap program. Likewise, The Alonso Foundation, led by Pete and Haley Alonso, has made veteran support a cornerstone of its charitable work, helping service members, veterans and military families through programs and opportunities that improve their quality of life.

"Haley and I are absolutely thrilled that the Alonso Foundation is teaming up with TowerCares for the 'Homers for Heroes' initiative," said Pete Alonso, co-founder of The Alonso Foundation. "Every time I step into the batter's box, I'm playing to win, but knowing that each home run will directly support our veterans adds a whole new level of purpose to every swing. Our servicemen and women have given so much, and it's a true honor to partner with TowerCares to give back to those who have sacrificed the most."

"Homers for Heroes reflects the shared values that unite Tower and the Alonsos in supporting those who have served and sacrificed so much for our country," said Rick Stafford, President & CEO of Tower Federal Credit Union and President of the TowerCares Foundation. "We're honored to team up with Pete and Haley Alonso to turn every home run into meaningful support for veterans and military families in communities across Maryland."
