Warren County Resident Honored on Field at Cincinnati Reds Game

CINCINNATI, OH -- An individual who received services from the Warren County Board of Developmental Disabilities was honored on field at the Cincinnati Reds game at the Great American Ball Park on Friday, April 10, 2026.

Gordon McCurrach, 45 of Loveland, was on the field to accept a $1,000 donation from the Reds Country Cares on behalf of his longtime 15-year workplace, InReturn.

​Founded in 2005, InReturn is a Cincinnati-based provider of viable employment for traumatic brain injury (TBI) survivors and individuals with developmental disabilities through manufacturing contracts and Life Skills Programming. The company provides in-house and out-sourced job opportunities to 30 traumatic brain injury survivors.

InReturn Executive Director Kelsey Schaible said she chose McCurrach because, although he is typically shy, he immediately volunteered himself for the opportunity. McCurrach said he loves attending Cincinnati Reds games and described the experience of being invited on the field as “unbelievable.”

McCurrach sported a De La Cruz jersey and waved to the crowd as he accepted the donation alongside two co-workers. Over the stadium speakers, the announcer described McCurrach as an active athlete in the Warren County Special Olympics. The announcer also introduced Nate Petrey, who has worked at InReturn for 17 years and has coached for Mason Comets baseball for 25 years, and Jessica McCabe, who was described as, “A 9-year InReturn associate who brings positive energy and personality to work every day.”

Reds Country Cares selects one societal issue per month of the regular season to spotlight organizations in the area who are making a meaningful impact in their communities through support and service. In April, Reds Country Cares focused “on making sure everyone knows that Reds baseball welcomes all” by featuring several organizations that support the disability community, including InReturn, Sami Sunshine, Down Syndrome Association of Greater Cincinnati, All Abilities Sports NKY, Hearts in the Park, and Our Tribe Cincy.

Schaible said InReturn will use the grant funding to improve its Life Skills classes or make improvements to its facility.
