Mets’ home runs bring $2K donations to community groups
Met Curtis Granderson signs a ball for Deisy Cedeno on Sunday. The Barnard College student credits the YMCA's Teen Career Connection program, which the Amazins' home runs contribute to, with introducing her "to a whole other world."South Bronx-born Deisy Cedeno grew up with Yankees fans but has good reason to root for the Mets this year.
Every time a member of the Amazins’ hits one out of their home field, Citi donates $2,000 to four community groups, including the New York City YMCA, as part of the Citi Community Home Runs Program.
Cedeno, an 18-year-old student at Barnard College, credits YMCA programs with helping her overcome a troubled past and finding a path to success.
