Pearl Jam's Mike McCready to Perform Star-Spangled Banner at September Seattle Mariners Game for Crohn's Research

Crohn's and Colitis Foundation is a non-profit, volunteer-driven organization with the goal of finding a cure for Crohn's Disease and ulcerative colitis. Some of the ways Crohn's and Colitis Foundation helps include funding research, conducting professional education and training, and providing patient support programs. These inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) affect an estimated 1.6 million Americans.

McCready's performance of the "Star-Spangled Banner" is part of the annual Crohn's & Colitis Awareness Night at Safeco Field. The Mariners take on the Houston Astros that night. The Mariners will donate $5 from every View level and $7 from every Main level ticket purchased using the special Crohn's Foundation Night promotional link. As a special bonus, fans who purchase tickets using the link will receive a Mariners scarf that features a silhouette of McCready with his guitar.

McCready, now 51, was diagnosed at age 21 with inflammatory bowel disease.

"I'm very honored to be able to do the Star-Spangled Banner at a Mariners game because I'm a big fan and we have season tickets there and I know that they don't take that lightly, and it's generally done a certain way," said McCready in a press statement. "It's good to know that the Mariners organization trusts me enough to be able to do it and know that it's done for the reasoning of raising awareness of Crohn's and colitis."

The involvement of a world class rock star like McCready has helped bring awareness about IBD issues.

"His involvement has helped us raise funds, raise awareness, it helps bring in a lot of people as well. So every opportunity we have to raise more awareness about what Crohn's and colitis are, as well as what the organization can do for people with Crohn's and colitis, is a big win for us," said Jennifer O'Connor, the executive director of the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation's northwest chapter.

According to O'Connor, the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation will spend $30 million USD ($37.51 million CAD) in 2017 towards finding new IBD treatments and cures.

This won't be the first time McCready has played the anthem in front of a Mariners audience. He also did so in 2009.

Woo-hoo!! Got my tix...

redraw · August 2017

Would love 1 of these hats if anyone is willing & able to score an extra please???
In the queue after Demetrios of course!!!

Anyone see a problem with someone who can't make the game, who purchases a ticket, emails ticket to a local who is going to the game. That local can either 1) find someone who can go and enjoy the game or 2) take emailed ticket and obtain hat on game day.

The ticket purchase proceeds are still going to charity. Someone may benefot from a free ticket to game. And original purchaser makes contribution to charity and they get the hat.

Anyone see anything wrong with that. If I was a father of 3 plus spouse and I showed up to hat distribution booth with all 5 paid tickets asking for my 5 hats...there wouldn't be a problem, right?

Thoughts?

In my experience (only in NY) baseball game give-a-ways are one per person and always an issue if you don't have a person per ticket due to the limited amount of give-away items.
