Renegades Community
The Hudson Valley Renegades and Westchester Medical Center Health Network (WMCHealth) are proud to continue their We Care Wednesday program into 2026.
‘We Care Wednesday’ was created to highlight community organizations at each of the Renegades’ Wednesday home games while allowing the non-profit organizations to promote their group and spread awareness about their work in the community throughout the game.
The Renegades aim to partner with both locally and nationally recognized non-profit organizations as we take pride in building high quality relationships and servicing organizations to create awareness, as well as positive and everlasting impacts in our local community.
The Renegades are now registering We Care Wednesday community partners for the 2026 season. For questions or information regarding the program, contact Tom Denlinger, General Manager at tdenlinger@hvrenegades.com or by calling (845) 838-0094.

Project ADAM (Automated Defibrillators in Adam’s Memory) began in 1999 after the death of Adam Lemel, a 17-year-old Wisconsin student who suffered a sudden cardiac arrest while playing basketball when no AED was available.
