On Saturday, we celebrated an incredible milestone—serving 5,000 middle schoolers across Massachusetts! This celebration was about much more than just a number; it was a tribute to the students, coaches, communities, and schools in each district we partner with. Their support has allowed us to grow and thrive. The middle schoolers of Boston, Lawrence, Holyoke, New Bedford, Lynn, Salem, and Methuen are the reason we do this work. We are dedicated to ensuring these students have the opportunity to play, grow, and develop through sports. Our partnerships have been essential to our success, and Saturday’s celebration was just as much about them as it was about us. We were reminded that sports are more than just competition—they bring people together, teach life skills, and create lasting memories. We celebrated all we’ve accomplished together and look forward to continuing this journey as we aim to serve the next 5,000 middle schoolers! A special thank you to Manny Delcarmen, Kayla Burton, Dave Wedge, New Balance, Salvatore Lupoli, Sal's Pizza and Tuscan Brands for making the day such a success!

We are thrilled to share the incredible success of the Play Ball Shootout Golf Tournament held two weeks ago at the beautiful Black Rock Country Club. Thanks to the generosity and enthusiasm of our amazing community, we raised an impressive $326,125 in support of the The Play Ball Foundation’s mission! This milestone wouldn't have been possible without the participation, donations, and unwavering support of everyone involved. A special thank you to Black Rock Country Club for hosting us and providing a stunning backdrop for a day filled with great shots, good company, and a shared commitment to empowering our middle schoolers through sports. To all who donated, participated, or volunteered—you made a difference, and we are incredibly grateful! #PlayBallFoundation #philanthropy #access #opportunity #morefeetonthefield
