A NOTE FROM OUR CEO
Hello, PIFBS Family!
As we embrace the vibrant month of September—a time rich with harvest and preparation—we at Pitch In For Baseball & Softball are fervently working to plant the seeds of future success.
A highlight of this month was our Chip In For Baseball & Softball Fundraiser at Topgolf in King of Prussia. We were delighted to host nearly 150 remarkable donors, sponsors, and baseball enthusiasts who made the event truly memorable. The evening sparkled with the presence of Ben Davis, the beloved voice of the Philadelphia Phillies, who served as our exceptional MC. We were also honored to have Phillies legends Dickie Noles and Milt Thompson join us, adding to the enchantment of the night.
As we lay the groundwork for the future, we conducted a strategic board meeting and staff retreat to kick off our planning for 2025 fundraising initiatives. These proactive steps ensure we are ready to swing into action when the time comes.
As we enter the fourth quarter, we recognize the challenges posed by a decline in non-profit giving. However, we are fueled by hope and determination to turn this trend around as we approach the New Year. We aim to welcome 2025 with strength, and with your ongoing support, we truly believe we can make this happen.
As we move closer to the year’s end, we invite you to consider making a monetary donation or donating gently used gear. Your passion for the sport, combined with your generous spirit, can create a transformative impact for someone else. Together, we possess the power to make a real difference in our community.
With heartfelt appreciation,
Meredith P. Kim
CEO, Pitch In For Baseball & Softball
