These are projects that we worked on in the past:

Through age-appropriate, year-round sports and youth development programming, Harlem RBI offers much more than just baseball. Today, Harlem RBI prides itself on being a community-based organization that holistically integrates the benefits of sports activity, the power of teams, and youth development programs. The organization provides an enduring commitment to over 600 youth throughout their childhood and adolescence, and a stable and inspiring environment where these children can play, learn, and grow. Pitch In For Baseball is glad to support this model program and hopes the donation of new baseball and softball bats brings great joy to the kids in Harlem.

In 2001, Little League baseball opened its first European youth baseball training center in Kutno, Poland. This excellent facility is called the European Leadership and Training Center and one Pitch In For Baseball board member, Bill Piszek, and his family were instrumental in bringing that dream to a reality.

The success in Kutno is the inspiration for the concept of Pitch In For Baseball. Working with a limited budget during those first couple years, Bill led an effort to collect gloves for the youngsters in Poland. To date, Bill's work has delivered over 1,500 gloves to young players in need. Amazingly, Poland qualified for the Little League World Series in Williamsport in 2003!

This story shows how grass roots efforts like Pitch In For Baseball can improve the lives of children. The popularity of youth baseball is thriving in Poland and continues to grow every year throughout Europe thanks to efforts like Pitch In For Baseball.

Pitch in for Baseball became aware of a need for equipment in Haiti through another non-profit organization called Theo's Works, Inc. It is through them that we were able to bring baseball to the Pwoje Espwa orphanage.

	"Thank you so much, once again, for contributing to Pwoje Espwa. We have been very successful in our work, and things like baseball will only enhance our ability to serve the poor children of Haiti. My goal is to first teach our kids the fundamentals of baseball, and then to actually create teams. We have a lot of land, so the creation of a baseball field will certainly be part of the overall plan. I foresee working with our older children, ranging from around eight to eighteen years old." Andrew Cramer Theo's Works, Inc.

Pitch In For Baseball is teaming with Esperanza International to start a new league in the town of Consuelo in San Pedro de Macoris in the Dominican Republic. 550 kids have signed up to start playing this spring, and we'll help provide the equipment and uniforms they need

Pitch in for Baseball joined up with the Houston Astros to support volunteers conducting baseball clinics in Nicaragua. Volunteers of four teams conducted baseball camps around the city of Leon and at the orphanage at El Ayudante. We appreciate the opportunity to get involved and help spread this great game around the world.
