Brotherly Glove
Our mission is to impact the lives of urban youth (ages 6 to 12) by providing services that build character and instill life-enhancing values through the game of baseball.
Brotherly Glove is a fundraiser that serves as an effort to provide new or gently used baseball equipment to boys and girls in underserved communities. Participating youth will also have the opportunity to earn scholarships and play in their local recreational leagues. The goal is to give children a clean and safe place to play where they will find positive adult mentors and coaches who are going to teach them life lessons on the playing field and in life.
