Getting More Feet on the Field in Boston!

Get in the game: We will continue to hold our annual events to raise funds and awareness of the charity, and identify people who would like to support Play Ball! on a regular basis.
See results: One of the keys to this enterprise is for everyone involved to see results. We want to work directly and locally, determine the community needs that the money raised could address, and make it happen in an easy and timely manner.
Build the team: Continue to grow the charity and ensure a long, successful life, we need all sorts of teammates: People to provide donations, directly and through events; school administrators, coaches, parents and students; young professionals who are interested in providing their time; and a core group of people who will help Play Ball! grow and be successful.
