ABOUT PIFBS
Together, We’ve Made a Difference
Pitch In For Baseball & Softball believes that lack of equipment should never be a reason a child isn’t able to play ball. Since 2005, Pitch In For Baseball & Softball has been dedicated to helping children around the globe play baseball and softball. PIFBS has donated $35 million in equipment to over 2.2 million children across 119 countries.
In addition to its pure play element, the game is also a powerful vehicle for youth development teaching important life lessons like teamwork, respect, keeping a commitment, and the art of winning and losing. It also helps build self-confidence, offers a constructive alternative for the key after-school hours, and gives kids positive role models in their coaches. It is a game that brings communities together – unifying people from different backgrounds, religions, ethnic groups, and socioeconomics as well as offering parents a way to connect with their kids.
PIFBS Quick FACTS
At Pitch In For Baseball & Softball, we believe every child deserves the chance to experience the joy of sports. With the support of our community, we are breaking down barriers and creating opportunities for kids to thrive both on and off the field.
