April 6, 2011 - A press conference this
afternoon at
Yankee Stadium to announce that 1B Mark Teixeira has
made a $1 million donation to East Harlem charity Harlem RBI
and is calling on his fans to help raise additional funds
through his Dream Team campaign. The fundraising campaign
will help the organization build a state-of-the-art facility
for the children that Harlem RBI and its partner DREAM
Charter School serve each year. The groundbreaking project
will include a 450-seat public charter school facility, a
new community center, 87 units of low income housing and a
rebuilt public park. All are designed to serve as a model of
urban development.
Fans can join Teixeira’s Dream Team by

…fans can text “RBI” to 50555 to make a $10
donation to the campaign. Teixeira will personally document
the campaign’s progress on his new social media sites on
Facebook (www.facebook.com/teixeiramark25)
