2025 Home Run for the House Knocked It Out of the Park!

U-M Ray Fisher Stadium | Sunday, September 14, 2025

What a day! Our 2025 Home Run for the House was a beautiful day and a fun-filled celebration at U-M Ray Fisher Stadium. Families and guests had the chance to meet the entire University of Michigan Baseball team and Head Coach Tracy Smith, while enjoying a day packed with activities—crafts in the Kids Zone, bounce houses, face glitter, wiffleball, kickball, and more. Thanks to our generous in-kind sponsors—Sam’s Club, Zee Zee’s Food, Kona Ice, and Bearclaw Coffee—everyone stayed fueled with plenty of great food and treats. Smiles were everywhere with family photo ops courtesy of Ideal Photo and special visits from beloved mascots and characters Ronald McDonald, Birdie, Detroit Tigers’ Paws, and even Batman!

Because of the generosity of our supporters, Home Run for the House raised over $80,000 ensuring that our families are supported with care and compassion – all FREE OF CHARGE to them.

Thank you to our sponsors, guests, honorary co-chairs, volunteers, and staff who made this event spectacular! A special thank you to our Presenting Sponsors- Alro Steel and The Jones Family Foundation.

A very special thank you to our honorary co-chairs,  U-M Head Baseball Coach Tracy Smith and his wife, Jaime, and Detroit Tiger Spencer Torkelson and his fiancée, Makenna Mattei; for all of their hard work to help make this event a success!
