MLB Players Trust Fastball Fund

2022 Disaster Relief & Recovery

 

Players Trust deploys Fastball Fund to provide up to $300,000 towards disaster relief and recovery efforts

2022 Spring Training

Major League Baseball players have a history and tradition of supporting social causes throughout the communities where they live, work, play, AND practice. Historically, Spring Training has provided critical fundraising and promotional opportunities for many nonprofits in Arizona and Florida. However, this year’s shortened season and the continued high demand for nonprofit services have negatively impacted these organizations and those they serve.

Through the Players Trust, MLB Players have stepped up to the plate with the Fastball Fund, providing $5K rapid-response grants so that nonprofits can continue to meet important need gaps for youth and others in our target communities.

MLB Players have stepped up to the plate with the Fastball Fund to provide $5K rapid-response grants to nonprofits throughout the Spring Training communities in Arizona and Florida. Westwood High School (@westwoodwarriors62) was the first recipient of the Fastball Fund. The grant will support their baseball program to ensure the team has what they need to succeed on and off the field.
