FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Cape League Home Runs Score 18,400 meals for the Family Pantry of Cape Cod.
Pretty Picky Properties and Monomoy Real Estate and Construction hook up with Cape Cod Baseball teams to help feed Cape Cod’s hungry.
Harwich, September,12, 2024– This summer five Cape Cod Baseball League teams participated in the Home Runs Against Hunger program co-sponsored by Pretty Picky Properties and Monomoy Real Estate and Construction. This innovative program generates a $50 donation to the Family Pantry of Cape Cod from the two companies for each home team home run hit by the teams involved, including the regular season plus playoffs.
This season the Hyannis Harbor Hawks participated for the first time, joining Cape Cod Baseball League teams Brewster Whitecaps, Harwich Mariners, Chatham Anglers, and Orleans Firebirds. The five teams hit a total of 92 round-trippers in their home parks, resulting in a combined contribution of $4,600. Orleans led the way, launching 26 homers at popular Eldredge Park.
“Most people don’t think of Cape Cod as a place where hunger is a problem, but it is,” said Blake Decker, CEO of Pretty Picky Properties. “We are so pleased to combine our support for the Cape Cod League with helping to meet a real need in our community.”
“It’s amazing that each dollar donated generates four meals for our hungry neighbors on the Cape,” said Justin Blair, Managing Partner of Monomoy Real Estate and Construction. “That means in the seven years we’ve been doing this, the program has produced 53,200 meals!”
“We are delighted with this program and its continuing contribution to feeding the hungry in our community,” said Chris Menard, Executive Director of the Family Pantry of Cape Cod.
The Family Pantry of Cape Cod has a strategic partnership with the Greater Boston Food Bank. This partnership allows the Family Pantry to provide four meals for every dollar donated, making any level of contribution immensely important.

Chatham, Cape Cod Town Resources
One of the older townships on Cape Cod, Chatham was settled in 1656 by William and Anne Busby Nickerson. Incorporated in 1712, the town’s census list now approximates 7,000 residents. Originally a farming community, its inhabitants found deep sea fishing more lucrative; and today, small boat deep sea fishing, as well as shell fishing continue as important maritime industries.
Covering an area of approximately seventeen square miles, Chatham is a happy combination of past and present — old-fashioned and picturesque, yet affording the best in modern facilities.
Surrounded by water on three sides, Chatham benefits from Mother Nature’s “natural air conditioning” with cool summers, exquisite autumns, and mild winters. It is a comfortable place in which to live year-round, as a summer resident or visit on vacation. We are proud of our community and hope that you will enjoy your stay with us and return often.
Chatham operates under the town meeting form of government. The executive officers are a board of five part-time Selectmen and a Town Manager. The citizens of Chatham enjoy the special benefits of forward-looking zoning and planning, and of both public and private conservation efforts.
