Meeting our Parent and Child Vision

As stated, Friends of Baseball's founding vision is to enhance and strengthen family ties through baseball. This can only be accomplished through a shared commitment for effective and cohesive relationships between parents, the coach, and the child's team. Primary and supplemental grants will be provided to those teams who choose to actively participate in nurturing these relationships.

Applicants are encouraged to develop an event, or series of events, to encourage this vital interaction within their organizations. This could include a "Kids and Parents Play at Game Day," "Awards Night by the Coaches," "Parents Game & Pizza Night," "Kids and Parents Major League Game Trip," " A New Season Kick-Off Hot Dog Feed." There are unlimited opportunities to encourage and cultivate this relationship through youth baseball. Implement one of these concepts or implement your own; creativity is always encouraged. Simply describe your inspiration, and its corresponding budget, in a letter form as a grant application. A significant number of individual grants will be designated for these "team building events."
