An Open Letter: Alex Cohen and Steve Cohen, Congratulations! We Look Forward to Working with The New York Mets Foundation to…..
Dear Alex Cohen and Steve Cohen,
Congratulations on your continued leadership and the remarkable success that you and your family have achieved with the New York Mets. Your stewardship of this iconic franchise has already begun to shape the future of the team and the city of New York in ways that are sure to have lasting effects. As passionate fans of the Mets, we are thrilled to be a part of this exciting era in the franchise’s history, and we are especially excited to collaborate with the New York Mets Foundation to make “amazin’” things happen both on and off the field.
Your vision and commitment to the Mets are evident in the investment you have made in the team, the ballpark, and, perhaps most importantly, in the local community. The Cohen family has proven time and time again that they not only care about the success of the Mets as an organization but also about making a tangible, positive impact on the lives of New Yorkers. This commitment has inspired a renewed sense of hope and optimism for the team’s future, and for that, we sincerely thank you.
As fans, we know that the Mets are about more than just the games we watch on television or the ones we cheer for at Citi Field. The Mets have always had a unique connection with their community, and under your leadership, we believe that connection will only grow stronger. The New York Mets Foundation has played a vital role in fostering this connection, and we are eager to join forces with the foundation to create new opportunities for collaboration and positive change.
The Impact of the New York Mets Foundation
For years, the New York Mets Foundation has been a beacon of hope and support for countless individuals and communities in the New York area. Through charitable initiatives, youth development programs, and efforts to address critical issues like education, healthcare, and homelessness, the Foundation has demonstrated that it is more than just an organization—it is a force for good. The foundation’s dedication to improving the lives of New Yorkers, particularly those who are underserved, has made a meaningful impact on so many.
As you both know, there is so much more work to be done. With your leadership, the Mets Foundation can reach even greater heights. We are excited about the possibilities for future partnerships and initiatives that will empower individuals, create lasting change, and bring new opportunities to those who need them the most. Whether it’s expanding educational programs for young students, creating safe spaces for families to enjoy the game of baseball, or offering access to healthcare for those who need it most, we are confident that the Foundation will continue to serve as a catalyst for positive change in our community.
A Shared Vision for the Future
Alex and Steve, as two individuals with such a profound understanding of both the power of sports and the importance of community, your shared vision aligns perfectly with our own. We believe that by working together, we can create lasting partnerships that bridge the gap between the Mets and the city that loves them. The opportunity to create programs that will leave a lasting legacy for the next generation of Mets fans—one that focuses not just on winning baseball games but on making a positive social impact—fills us with excitement.
At the core of this vision is the belief that sports can be a transformative force. The Mets have a storied history of overcoming adversity and achieving greatness, and through community outreach, youth development, and support for local charities, we can ensure that the team’s legacy extends far beyond the diamond.
Building a Stronger Community Together
There’s something uniquely powerful about sports and its ability to unite people from all walks of life. For New Yorkers, the Mets represent more than just a team; they represent hope, resilience, and pride. This pride goes beyond the game itself, extending to the neighborhoods, schools, and families that make up the fabric of New York City.
In the years ahead, we look forward to continuing to build on this foundation, strengthening the Mets’ role as a pillar of the community. Together, we can create programs that bring the joy of baseball to children in every borough, ensure that underprivileged families have access to the resources they need, and offer mentorship opportunities for young people looking to build a better future.
We also recognize that much of this work requires a commitment to innovation and creative problem-solving. The New York Mets Foundation, with its vast network of partners and supporters, is in a unique position to lead the way. We are excited to bring fresh ideas and perspectives to the table and to work alongside you in creating initiatives that will make a real, tangible difference in the lives of New Yorkers.
The Future is Bright—Together
In closing, Alex and Steve, we want to reiterate our excitement and gratitude for the work that you’ve already done and the incredible work still to come. As the Mets continue to evolve into one of the most forward-thinking and community-oriented organizations in professional sports, we remain eager to support your vision and to help make “amazin’” things happen.
Together, we can ensure that the Mets not only succeed on the field but also leave an indelible mark off the field—through charitable initiatives, educational programs, and partnerships that continue to improve the lives of those in need. The power of the Mets Foundation is not just in the resources it provides but in the hearts and minds it touches, and we are eager to help amplify that impact.
Congratulations again on all of the incredible things you’ve already accomplished with the Mets. We look forward to what lies ahead, knowing that, with your leadership, the best is yet to come.
Here’s to many more years of success, community collaboration, and unforgettable moments.
Warm regards,
A Dedicated New York Mets Fan and Partner in Community Empowerment
