(Trenton, NJ) – Your Trenton Thunder, presented by NJM Insurance Group along with Affinity Federal Credit Union, are excited to announce their Hits for Hope: Every Hit Makes a Difference Program for the 2026 season at Trenton Thunder Ballpark. Affinity Federal Credit Union will pledge $5 for every single, $10 for every double, $15 for every triple and $20 for every home run to UrbanPromise Trenton, for every hit by a Trenton Thunder player at home during the 2026 season.
Since 2011, UrbanPromise Trenton has worked to provide a path to better opportunities and a better future for children and youth. Their goal is to create and maintain programs that allow students the opportunity to progress in life skills, spirituality, and education with the support of a passionate team behind them.
Fans will be introduced to the program each night upon entering the ballpark with a pre-game announcement, followed by in-game updates during the first inning or after the first qualifying hit. At the end of each game, a final announcement will share the total amount donated.
“Hits for Hope is a powerful way to connect the energy of the game with real impact in our community,” said Ryan Marosy, VP, Head of Marketing at Affinity Federal Credit Union. “Every hit is more than a moment on the field—it’s a meaningful contribution to an organization making a difference across Trenton.”
“We are incredibly proud to introduce this new community driven program with Affinity Federal Credit Union for the 2026 season” said Trenton Thunder General Manager Jon Bodnar. “The Hits for Hope Program has the potential to make an immediate impact in our surrounding communities and it is a privilege to debut and grow this great platform.”
