(Trenton, NJ) – Your Trenton Thunder, presented by NJM Insurance Group, are pleased to announce in partnership with Fulton Bank, Stark & Stark PC, and First Bank the “Strike Outs for Community Program” has raised $6,270 that will be donated to The Rescue Mission of Trenton.
For every strike out recorded by a Trenton Thunder pitcher during the 2026 season, a combined ten-dollar donation from Fulton Bank, Stark & Stark PC, and First Bank was made to help benefit the Capital Area YMCA.

First Bank is proud that the second annual Strike Outs for Community Program turned every strikeout into meaningful support for an organization whose work changes lives and strengthens Trenton. We are grateful to the Trenton Thunder, Fulton Bank, and Stark & Stark for their partnership and shared commitment to making a lasting local impact,” said David DiStefano, First Senior Vice President and Chief Banking Officer of First Bank.
“The Thunder could not be prouder to see the continued success of our Strike Outs for Community Program in year two,” said Thunder General Manager Jon Bodnar. “We can’t wait to continue to grow this program and to further our outreach and impact for great organizations across the Garden State.”
“The Rescue Mission could not be more appreciative of Fulton Bank, Stark & Stark PC, First Bank and the Trenton Thunder for their support through the Strike Outs for Community Program!
