In addition to getting autographs from some of their favorite players, the kids traveled in the same luxury bus the Bengals' use for close away games, they enjoyed a delicious dinner in the President's box and got to stand directly behind the team’s bench during practice.

In early September, a group of children from Lawrenceburg, Indiana received the opportunity to watch the Cincinnati Reds take on the Pittsburgh Pirates at Great American Ball Park. For many of the kids, it was their first time attending a Reds game. They got to enjoy it in style...from right behind the plate in the founder's suite of Comair/Delta! While the Reds may not have pulled out a win, the evening was a huge 'win' in the lives of these kids.
