Since 2008, the Handing Out HOPE foundation, through generous donations from our community, and with help from national partnerships, with Pitch in for Baseball, Roberto's Kids, and the Baseball Without Borders Foundation (BWB),has been able to help send over 8,800 pieces of baseball equipment to children throughout the world including children of the Dominican Republic, Peru, Philippines, Ukraine, Mexico, Romania, Nigeria and South America. With gear they have purchased BWB has also sent baseball equipment to our US troops in Afghanistan!

 

Many children living in these impoverished areas are unable to participate in sports due to the lack of available equipment. We are so fortunate to live in a nation that promotes and provides healthy sport experiences.  Yet, sometimes we get caught up in the hype of uniforms and trophies that we forget why our children are playing in the first place...for the love of the game.
