CLEVELAND, OH --- The Cleveland Indians Players' Wives Association in partnership with Cleveland Indians Charities, will play host to their fifth annual Mystery Ball Fundraiser at Progressive Field on Saturday, June 27 before the Tribe's game against the Cincinnati Reds @7:05PM. For only $50, ticketed fans have the opportunity to purchase a Mystery Ball (limited supply available), each of which contains a baseball autographed by one of today's biggest Major League stars.

New this year, a raffle entry will be given to fans with every purchase of a Mystery Ball for a chance to win Batting Practice Xtra (BPX) and a meet & greet with Indians Manager Eric Wedge. BPX is the ultimate on-field experience when visiting Progressive Field! The raffle winner will view team batting practice from the warning track behind home plate prior to a future agreed upon Indians game. Winner need not be present and will be notified post-raffle.

TICKETED FANS attending the June 27 game can purchase Mystery Ball tickets at Gates A & C once gates officially open (limit 5 per purchase) at 5:30PM. The Mystery Ball ticket redemption and Silent Auction will take place at Section 153 of Progressive Field. The Silent Auction includes unique Tribe experiences and one-of-a-kind autographed items.

Proceeds from the event will benefit Providence House, a non-profit organization that provides a temporary nurturing home for infants, toddlers and children whose caregivers are in crisis, while supporting family preservation through innovative programming. Providence House is Ohio's first licensed crisis nursery offering emergency shelter for babies and children from newborn through five years of age in at-risk situations where they are in imminent danger of abuse or neglect.
