This year, the Savannah Bananas raised a total of $121,964 for non-profits.
Partnering with over 70 different organizations, non-profits were able to raise money through tickets sales, keeping 1/3 of the revenue for tickets sold. There were multiple jersey auctions and 50/50 raffles that raised additional money for a featured non-profit of the night. The 2018 season raised over $42,000 more than the 2017 season. The Bananas also helped fundraise for 65 different schools and youth programs.
In three seasons, the Bananas have raised a total of $242,064 for non-profits.
