Impact Report Colombia:
2012 – 2023
It’s been a long and beautiful journey in Colombia over the last 11 years working with the dedicated local leaders, coaches, volunteers, partner charities and schools which relentlessly pursue a better life for the children in their community. We have learned a great deal about their cultures and the realities in each region which limit youth access to baseball and softball. Together, we are finding solutions, one community at a time. You inspire us to work harder and reach farther everyday!
Thanks to all the cash and equipment donors, partner charities, corporate sponsors and the U.S. Department of State for your teamwork, support and dedication confronting the inequities and injustice which continue to pervade many places on earth.
United, we are opening doors and minds, and leveling the playing field for all. Thank you! And Happy 2024 to all!
