Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready will play the National Anthem at Safeco Field on September 16 as the Seattle Mariners ready to kick off a homestand against the Houston Astros.

In what is becoming a yearly tradition, McCready will perform to benefit the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America, a non-profit dedicated to finding curs for Crohn’s Disease (McCready was diagnosed with Crohn’s at the age of 21) as well as Ulcerative Colitis.

Pearl Jam and the Mariners are selling tickets at a reduced rate, with a portion of the ticket sales benefitting the CCFA NW Chapter. $5 from each View Level ticket sold and $7 from each Main Level ticket sold will go towards the foundation.
