Miami Marlins to honor Miami sports legend Udonis Haslem during UD Night

MIAMI,FL.– Come out to loanDepot park on Thursday, September 7, to celebrate the amazing career of the hometown hero Udonis Haslem on UD Night. Hailing from Miami Senior High, which is just over 1 mile away from the ballpark, Haslem played 20 seasons with the Miami HEAT – the longest-tenured player in franchise history – and won three NBA championships.

“Udonis Haslem embodies the South Florida community, and it is our honor to celebrate his many accomplishments on the court and in the surrounding neighborhoods of Miami with UD Night on September 7,” said Caroline O’Connor, Marlins President of Business Operations. “We could not think of a better way to recognize his commitment to the community than by supporting his newly launched foundation with a donation from every UD Night ticket.”

The Miami HEAT legend will join the Marlins as an in-game host as the team takes on the Los Angeles Dodgers at 6:40 p.m. The special ticket package features a limited-edition “Haslem 40” Marlins T-shirt, with a portion of the proceeds ($3.05) going to The Udonis Haslem Foundation.
