We collect new and gently worn baseball equipment from the US and Canada and distribute it to disadvantaged youth in Latin American countries, the US and around the World.
Our global reach and leadership bridges the gap between different cultures through baseball. Our organization partners with communities as they develop and nurture social responsibility.
The Founder is Stephen Pindar. He and his wife, Lisa, have been doing mission work and providing humanitarian aid in the Dominican Republic since 1997.
In 1999, Steve started a baseball collection project, which benefited children in the Dominican Republic.
