Field their dreams. One Glove at a time.
Help us provide service, care and charitable aid through the joy and love of baseball
You could be a kid for as long as you want
when you play baseball.
– Cal Ripken, Jr.
Baseball is loved around the world. It encourages teamwork, builds confidence, enhances gross motor skills, promotes family involvement, encourages a healthy lifestyle, enhances social skills, builds patience, and most of all, brings joy and happiness to all those who play the game. Gift of Glove Foundation founding principle is that sharing a love of baseball is one simple way we can change the life of a child, regardless of their social or economic status. We have three core areas of focus:
Gather and Deliver Baseball Donations
We collect donations of new or used baseball and softball goods to benefit children and youth of underserved or underdeveloped parts of the world.
Serve Local Youth with Critical Illnesses
Serve youth and children diagnosed with a critical illness in our own country by helping to fulfill dreams and bring joy through the love of baseball.
Inspire the Next Generation to Serve
In providing service we give opportunities for youth from all walks of life to participate in local humanitarian projects.
Do you have equipment you would like to donate?
We are always looking for new and used bats, baseballs, softballs, gloves, shoes, bases, helmets, uniforms, hats, and other items that will help children both at home and other parts of the world learn to play and love the game.
“Love is the most important thing in the world, but baseball is pretty good, too.”
