Treasurer Stacy Garrity Returns Nearly $15,000 of Unclaimed Property at York Revolution Game
Superhero-themed day included three homers (Pow! Bang! Boom!) and a victory for our heroes
NOTE: Photos from the event can be found here.York, PA - Treasurer Stacy Garrity today announced that nearly $15,000 worth of unclaimed property was found for fans of the York Revolution who attended Sunday’s baseball game against the Hagerstown Flying Boxcars. Many attendees dressed up like their favorite superheroes, which was the theme of the game, presented by York County Veterans Outreach.
“Fans of the Revolution looked awesome in their costumes – and the team from Treasury showed them that you don’t need Superman’s X-ray vision or Thor’s hammer to find unclaimed property. We connected people with money they didn’t even know belonged to them, which is always a thrill. I want to thank the outstanding people in the Revs organization for helping to make this such a super day.”
Pennsylvania State Treasurer Stacy Garrity
“We were thrilled to host the Pennsylvania Treasury team during our game and to see the joy on our fans' faces as they discovered unclaimed property they didn’t know they had. Our team and several of our staff also found unclaimed property, which made the day even more special. Treasury’s efforts truly made them the heroes of the day, uniting our community with funds that had been waiting for them. We look forward to future collaborations and continuing this wonderful partnership.”
VP of Business Development for the York Revolution Nate Tile
Fans who attended the game, a 10-6 victory for the Revs over the Boxcars, were assisted by Treasury’s outreach staff as they searched for unclaimed property. Shortstop Matt McDermott hit three of the Revs’ stupendous six home runs in the game – and although Treasury doesn’t have any unclaimed property for McDermott, fans who cheered his superhuman effort are now in the process of being reunited with a total of $14,996.61. Several attendees found money that had belonged to their parents.
Unclaimed property can include things like dormant bank accounts, uncashed checks, insurance policies, contents of forgotten safe deposit boxes and more. State law requires businesses to report unclaimed property to Treasury after three years of dormancy.
Treasury is working to return more than $4.5 billion in unclaimed property to more than one in ten Pennsylvanians. The average unclaimed property claim is worth about $1,600. Treasurer Garrity has returned more than $700 million in unclaimed property to hardworking Pennsylvanians, businesses, nonprofits, and local government agencies.
