OUR 2023 MOTTO
We use Baseball and Softball as a tool to mentor, not to produce Major League Players but to produce Major League Citizens.
OUR MISSION AND WHY YOU SHOULD SUPPORT!
Our mission is to enhance children's lives through baseball's power to teach. Our annual event is our largest source of funding for our after school and summer programs. Your ongoing investment in our work has allowed us to provide after school and summer programs to support youth in our community. Over the past year, FULL COUNT RBI PROGRAMS have provided:
ENDING ISOLATION: Covid-Safe in person, "Play Catch with a Coach" mentoring sessions for youth to connect with positive, trauma-informed mentor coaches, and Lunch & Play baseball/softball skills session.
COMMUNITY RESOURCES: Ongoing Play Ball physical recreation and academic enrichment kit distribution partnerships with Multnomah County Public Health REACH Program. Play East, Community Organizations and food pantries.
NEW PROGRAMS: Launch of our Softball Girls Lead Program and launch of our Full Count RBI Elite Skills Camp.
