A home run for the Senior Assistance Fund

Our utility hit a home run in August 2021 for the Senior Assistance Fund. TPU Night at the Tacoma Rainiers was a massive success thanks to utility employees and TPU customers who bought 592 ticket packages. For each TPU Night ticket bought, the Tacoma Rainiers donated $5 back to TPU, The utility received more than $2,700 to offer grants through the Senior Assistance Fund that help local seniors struggling to pay their utility bills. It was the perfect summer night for baseball, and many colleagues saw one another for the first time in over a year. TPU honored our continuity staff, who continue to work in the field and on campus, with a Tacoma Rainiers ticket raffle. Fifty raffle winners received tickets to TPU Night, and TPU gave away 94 vouchers, good for two tickets to any game during the season. The partnership with the Tacoma Rainiers is a highly visible opportunity to connect with our customers and community about the services and programs we offer. We receive signage and ads in the ballpark throughout the season with messaging related to water conservation, Customer Energy Program incentives, Business Customer Energy Programs, electric vehicle charging, and Evergreen Options.

Thanks to everyone for your support of America’s favorite pastime. Time to get excited about this season, which began April 5.
