Jortstop Night 2024

We are proud to announce that in 2024 Jortstop Night will be continuing our partnership with the Jimmy V Foundation for Cancer Research. Last year we used the passion and enthusiasm of our community to raise over $3500 for cancer research. Join us this year as we look to continue our new favorite tradition and attempt surpass our fundraising totals and goals.

Our Story and History:
In 2022, our group of 75 became the Phillies newest fan group, Jean's Jeans. Supporting fan favorite second basemen Jean Segura. An impromptu night that ended up becoming a reunion of friends and family. Our energy was contagious in the stadium. From appearances on the Phillies broadcast to a shoutout from Jean himself in his postgame interview we realized we caught lightning in a bottle.

In 2023, Jean Segura was no longer a part of the Phillies but we were determined to leverage the traction we gained to build something to last. The Phillies signed Trea Turner that offseason and we came up with "Jortstop Night", a way to welcome Philadelphias newest shortstop, with a play on words to keep our beloved denim theme. However, we didn't stop there. We knew Trea and his wife, Kristen, were NC State grads and big supports of The Jimmy V Foundation for Cancer Research. We decided to turn our event into a fundraiser for The V Foundation. 

This is the second year we have partnered with The V Foundation and we are incredibly proud of the relationship we have built with them. In our two years of fundraising we have had over 350 denim donning volunteers and are quickly approaching $10,000 raised for cancer research.
