Owena Little League in Nigeria turned to baseball as a way to keep children off the streets. To ensure that every child had the opportunity to play, Owena applied for a PIFBS equipment grant. One child who was able to benefit from this donation was Victor.
Victor had lost his father before the season began. Through baseball, his team provided him with support and confidence when he needed it most. His teammates became like a family to him, and he was thrilled to receive the equipment he needed to play.
Baseball helped Victor feel a sense of normalcy. With your help, we can provide this same opportunity to other children who need it most. Would you consider making a $5 donation to support players like Victor?

At 10 years old David started playing baseball, hoping to become a catcher. He was never able to start practicing because he never had his own catcher set to use.
After David`s league, Indios De Columbia, received a PIFBS equipment grant, he could finally start playing at his dream position.
David`s excitement and motivation quickly made him one of the best players on the team. His play helped lead his team to finish in 1st place during one of their international tournament competitions.
Today on $5 Friday, will you consider making just a $5 donation to help more players like David, and increase access to the game of baseball and softball?
In our first-ever $5 Friday, we want to share one of our favorite stories about Lena from Minneapolis, MN. Lena`s original glove was way too small for high school softball. When her school received a PIFBS equipment grant, Lena was given a glove that fit her perfectly. Her play that season improved so much that she won the Most Outstanding Defensive Player award!
A new glove can make a massive difference in the way a child plays. Today on $5 Friday, will you donate to help us make a difference for other players like Lena? Venmo us at @pifbs and help us provide the same opportunity that Lena was able to have.

Jack is currently preparing to take his black belt test this summer. As part of his training, Jack is required to complete a community service project. Given his love for baseball, he chose to run an equipment collection project with PIFBS. Jack had set up equipment collection bins outside his karate studio and Little League field.
Thanks for your support, Jack! Good luck with your black belt test! 🥋⚾🥎
