BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – For the fourth consecutive year the Birmingham Barons and Dale’s Seasoning teamed up to hit a homerun with the "Pitch One for Kid One" fund-raising promotion. Once again the amount raised exceeded the previous year. This year Dale’s donation is $8,500. Kid One Transport is an innovative program that has served the children of Alabama for twelve years. It is the only nonprofit transportation provider of its kind in the country. Since its beginning in 1997, Kid One has provided more than 160,000 transports and ensures that their children receive the medical care they need. Kid One serves expectant mothers and children with a wide variety of health care needs ranging from routine medical checkups, dental screenings and mental/emotional health services, to critical, specialized care such as radiation, chemotherapy and dialysis.

Alan Seigel, Vice President & Marketing Director of Dale’s Sauces, Inc. said, "We’re proud to be able to help children in need and also we are grateful for the fan support we have received over the past four years.
