You are now part of the Thunder Entertainment Experience - the sights, sounds, smells and entertainment value that families, groups and corporations continue to embrace for over 28 years. There are plenty of traditional and non-traditional opportunities for sponsors to be directly involved with our fans.
It's not just a way to reach more people - it's a way to become an important and memorable part of the fun!
No other Minor League Baseball team receives national and worldwide recognition like the Thunder.
Since Trenton Thunder's inception in 1994, there came a commitment from the organization to be a part of the community in which it was established.
To date, the Grand Slam We Care Foundation has donated over $7.6 million worth of goods, services and monetary donations, through a variety of community programs.
The Thunder created the F.I.E.L.D. (Focused Initiative for Enhanced Learning and Development) Program in 2016.
Each season the Thunder teams up with corporations to provide tickets to deserving non-profit groups as part of the Tickets For Kids program. This program allows children to enjoy all the fun surrounding a professional baseball game when they might not ordinarily be able to do so.
