HOUSTON - The Houston Astros hosted the National PLAY Campaign on Wednesday, July 26 at Minute Maid Park.
The PLAY Campaign is a national public awareness campaign of the Professional Baseball Athletic Trainers Society (PBATS) in conjunction with MLB Charities, the Taylor Hooton Foundation and the Henry Schein Cares Foundation. The campaign educates America's young people about the importance of living a healthy and active lifestyle and disability inclusion.
In 2014, the PLAY Campaign became the first program in professional sports to include children with disabilities. PBATS partnered with the National Down Syndrome Society in 2017 to enhance this effort.
