To enhance the quality of life in the greater Trenton, NJ area by providing impactful educational and recreational programs while supporting initiatives that address community needs such as education and addiction.
With the inception of the Trenton Thunder in 1994 came a commitment from the organization to be a part of the community in which it was established.
The Thunder have lived up to this commitment with the Grand Slam We Care Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charity, which at the conclusion of the 2023 season, had donated over $9.5 Million worth of goods, services, and monetary donations, through a variety of community programs.

support from Stark & Stark
Each season, your Thunder team up with corporations to provide tickets to deserving non-profits as part of the Tickets for Kids Program. Through the generous efforts of these corporations and individual donors, over 68,000 children have enjoyed the Thunder Baseball Experience since 1996 who might not have ordinarily been able to do so.
The Trenton Thunder are calling on their fans to support local community organizations as part of Good Deed Day at Trenton Thunder Ballpark. Good Deed Day will feature collection tables on Times Square (the area outside the ballpark).
Team up with the Thunder for a fun, educational-based program featuring Boomer and Cloudman and designed to help students learn and excel in school!
The Thunder are proud to support organizations that enhance the educational opportunities and quality of life for children as well as programs that support the betterment of the local community in general.
support from FASTSIGNS of Lawrenceville
The Trenton Thunder’s beloved mascot, Boomer, is throwing his hat (or rather, his oversized baseball cap) into the ring for President of the United States, with a focus on education. Boomer is running on a platform of education! The Trenton Thunder are collecting school supplies all season long which will be donated to Trenton-area students ahead of their September start date.
