The Con Edison Yankee Kids Program is a 33-year-old company tradition. The six Yankee Kids, one from each borough and Westchester County, range in age from 8 to 16 years old. Yankee Kids are selected on the basis of academic proficiency, as well as having demonstrated strong leadership and sportsmanship skills. Each youth is nominated by a local civic organization. Prior to the Yankee game against the Toronto Blue Jays, the Con Edison Yankee Kids will participate in an on-field ceremony. Later this summer, the youths will be afforded an opportunity to attend a instructional baseball camp at a college campus in the New York metropolitan area. For more than three decades, the Con Edison Yankee Kids Program has provided more than 3 million community youths with free admission to Yankee Stadium to watch the World Champions in action.
