Our Impact

Youth sports help kids build character, leadership skills, confidence, and resiliency. Kids in under-resourced areas often can not afford the equipment needed to play baseball and softball. Our mission is to eliminate barriers by providing equipment directly to leagues, schools, and organizations around the world who are most in need.

Dayton Softball (Dayton, OH)  received a PIFBS equipment grant this year. One of the recipients showed up to practice without equipment. From this donation, she was given her own glove. This glove helped make her feel like a part of the team! As she became more comfortable with her new glove, she became a role model for her teammates. This new motivation encouraged her to improve her skills both on the field and in the classroom!
