New York Yankees Hope Week Initiative

A multiple times winner of the Emmy award, Nancy Newman is a broadcaster at the YES Network. At the company, Nancy Newman shares the latest and hottest information about the New York Yankees, such as HOPE week.

The New York Yankees created the HOPE week initiative in 2009. HOPE stands for helping others persevere and excel, and it is an initiative in which the Yankees promote organizations, families, or individuals that deserve recognition and support to become better. This is highly beneficial, especially for nonprofits that receive awards, as they can raise awareness and funding and attract more supporters and investors.

The people and organizations participating in the initiative and receiving recognition can interact with the players and share their stories. At the end of the day, they can go to Yankees stadium and watch the game. In 2021, one lucky fan, Gwen, had one of her biggest dreams accomplished as she was a batgirl during the Yankees game.
