Autographs for a Cause
This season, in an effort to support the metro-Detroit community, Tigers pitcher Jeremy Bonderman has partnered with the Detroit Tigers Foundation in a program called "Autographs for a Cause." Through this program, Jeremy will sign fans' baseball cards and photographs through the mail in exchange for a donation to the Detroit Tigers Foundation, the club's official charity. All of the funds collected through this program by Jeremy will be donated to The Miracle League of Michigan, a charitable organization that provides children with mental and/or physical challenges an opportunity to play baseball as a team member in an organized league.

Fans that wish to participate in the “Autographs for a Cause” program, should send their baseball cards or photographs (not larger than 8x10) along with check or money order (made payable to the DETROIT TIGERS FOUNDATION) according to the following donation chart:

Your Item	Donation
Autographed Baseball Card	$10
Autographed Photograph (not larger than 8x10)	$20
Inscription	$5

Fans should keep in mind there is some risk involved in putting an item in the mail. Although reasonable precautions will be taken, the Detroit Tigers are not responsible if an item is lost or damaged. Please allow four to six weeks for your item(s) to be signed and do not send items other than baseball cards or photographs, as they will be returned to you unsigned. If your donation is mailed after the end of the regular season, please allow additional time for your item(s) to be signed, as items may not be signed until the start of Spring Training.

All items, along with a proper donation, return address, and instructions (if necessary) should be mailed to the following address:

Jeremy Bonderman
Autographs for a Cause
Detroit Tigers Foundation
2100 Woodward Avenue
Detroit, MI 48201
