  Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL) and Atlanta Braves' slugger Jeff Francoeur are   teaming up to go to bat for a hometown charity, Atlanta's Dream House for   Medically Fragile Children, through a new charitable sponsorship called the   SkyMiles Home Run Program. The Official Airline of the Atlanta Braves pledged   today to donate 25,000 Delta SkyMiles for each home run hit by Francoeur during   the 2007 season to benefit this local charity.
 
  "Hitting a home run is   always a big thrill, but Delta's SkyMiles Home Run Program will make each future   hit even more valuable," said Francoeur, who has amassed 10 home runs through   the All-Star break this season. "Helping children and families in need is very   important to me, and I am honored to support the Dream House for Medically   Fragile Children."
 
  The Dream House for Medically Fragile Children will   use the SkyMiles donated by Delta to fly beneficiaries and supporters of the   charity - including children, families, caregivers and staff - throughout the   country as they work to meet their organization's goals. Founded in 2001 as   Dream House for Kids, Dream House for Medically Fragile Children is dedicated to   increasing opportunities for medically fragile children to live in a stable,   permanent home environment through support resources and programs that increase   the number of families and communities prepared to care for them.
 
  "Jeff   Francoeur is a Braves fan favorite and, given his support of the Dream House for   Medically Fragile Children, is a true hometown hero like all of those involved   with this charity," said Capt. Mike Doyle, Delta's Atlanta Chief Pilot.
 
  "Through the SkyMiles Home Run Program, Braves fans and Delta customers   will now have even more reason to cheer for Jeff each time he comes to the plate   this year."
 
  "Delta's SkyMiles Home Run program will greatly benefit our   families and caregivers, enabling the children to fly to special medical testing   centers and hospitals across the country," said Laura O. Moore, Founder and CEO   of Dream House for Medically Fragile Children. "These very important SkyMiles   will also help our advocacy efforts by allowing us to meet with others across   the country, addressing issues on a national level that will impact the health   and quality of life for all medically fragile children. We are so grateful to   Delta Air Lines for its generous donation and to Jeff Francoeur for including us   in this wonderful program."
