Dexter Lawrence Charity Softball Game (2024)
In May 2024, New York Giants standout defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence brought Giants fans together for a memorable night of community impact with the Dexter Lawrence Celebrity Softball Game at Clover Stadium in Pomona, NY. The event reunited current and former Giants players for an evening of entertainment, fan engagement, and meaningful fundraising—blending sports, family-friendly programming, and philanthropy into one high-energy experience.
From the opening moments through the final inning, the atmosphere delivered exactly what fans hoped for: a mix of friendly competition, once-in-a-lifetime access to Giants legends, and a shared purpose beyond the field. The schedule also featured added fan-favorite elements like autographs, dodgeball, and a home run derby, helping make the day feel like a full-scale stadium event rather than a single exhibition game.
Impact & Money Raised
Beyond the excitement, the biggest win of the night came off the field. The 2024 game raised $60,000 for charity, supporting St. Christopher’s Inc., an organization dedicated to serving youth with special needs and helping them build skills and confidence for the future.
A Special Return for Giants Fans
The event also carried significance as a long-awaited return of a beloved Giants tradition. Promotional materials highlighted that the charity softball game was “back” after several years away, with Lawrence stepping into the role of host for this new chapter.
As longtime Giants fan organizer Joe Ruback (widely known as “License Plate Guy”) shared in event communications, the motivation behind the evening was simple:
“Bringing together a group of incredible athletes for a fun-filled day – all to support a great cause never gets old.”
ISO’s Role: Helping Bring It All to Life
ISO was proud to support the Dexter Lawrence Charity Softball Game as a key facilitator behind event execution, helping ensure the experience ran smoothly for athletes, partners, and the thousands of fans in attendance.
Working in close coordination with on-site stakeholders, ISO helped drive the kind of operational structure and run-of-show support that allows a high-profile charity event to feel seamless—creating an environment where the focus stayed exactly where it should: on the fans, the athletes, and the mission.
From managing real-time event flow to supporting onsite operations, ISO helped deliver a polished, fan-first experience that matched the energy of the moment and the importance of the cause.
A Night Bigger Than the Scoreboard
The Dexter Lawrence Celebrity Softball Game wasn’t just a fun night at the ballpark—it was a shared reminder of what sports can do at their best: bring people together, create lasting memories, and generate real impact for communities that need it most.
With $60,000 raised and a stadium full of fans celebrating Giants football culture in a new setting, the 2024 event set a strong foundation for future years—and ISO was honored to be part of making it happen.
