Pitch In For Baseball & Softball was founded shortly after Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast. Our very first projects helped rebuild Little Leagues in Louisiana and helped restore some normalcy for the children amidst the chaos. Disaster Relief remains core to our mission.  Previous disaster relief projects include: the NY/NJ shoreline following Hurricane Sandy; Joplin, MO; the Gulf Coast region after Hurricane Katrina; Houston, West Virginia and Louisiana after major flooding hit in 2016; and Japan after a major tsunami; Houston in 2017 after Hurricane Harvey; Puerto Rico in 2018 and 2019 after Hurricane Maria.

Though the road to recovery is long, we know here at PIFBS that baseball and softball have healing powers for kids, parents, and coaches alike in the aftermath of tragedy. Sports can help to restore a sense of normalcy amidst the chaos.
