The Upper East Side condominium Miraval Living at 515 East 72nd Street will donate $1,000 to charity for each home run that New York Yankee Curtis Granderson hits, starting August 1.
The money will be donated to Granderson’s charity, Grand Kids Foundation, which funds baseball and school supplies for inner city youths.
"I am excited that Miraval Living is making a commitment to the Grand Kids Foundation and inner city education by making a donation for every homerun I hit for the rest of the season. It is a great way to tie together success on the field for the Yankees organization and impact off the field for so many students,“ said Granderson, a resident of the building, in a statement.
“It’s an honor to have such a well-respected athlete living here in our building, and also exciting that he’s a New York Yankee,” said Jim Sheehan, the building's project manager, in a statement. “We feel this is a great opportunity to not only cheer on our favorite player, but raise money for a good cause.”
515 East 72nd Street is a luxury condo building near the East River with an on-site park, spa, gym facilities and pool. Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group is marketing the building.
