FOOTHILL RANCH, Calif. , April 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Following Major League Baseball's season openers, loanDepot , the nation's second largest nonbank retail lender, racked up $29,500 for Boys & Girls Clubs of America through the launch of its "Home Means Everything" RBI campaign. In the second year of its campaign, loanDepot will donate $25 for every run batted in (RBI) during the 2022 MLB regular season. The company elevated the amount to $250 per RBI for the first two days of the season, which tallied 118.

"We're starting our second season as an MLB partner off strong with this donation to Boys & Girls Clubs," said loanDepot EVP, Chief Administrative Officer TJ Freeborn. "Making a real difference in the communities where Team loanDepot lives and works is in our DNA. We see the numbers from Opening Day as a great sign of things to come and look forward to putting more points on the board for youth and families across America."
