At its very simplest, baseball/softball is a game that is played by boys and girls in backyards, parks, playgrounds, and sandlots. It is a time to be outdoors and spend with friends – old and new, an opportunity to be part of a team, and experience the highs of winning and the agony of defeat. This is what childhood is about – to play, be carefree, and just have a chance to a kid. In addition to its pure play element, the is also a powerful vehicle for youth development teaching important life lessons like teamwork, respect, keeping a commitment, and the art of winning and losing. It also helps build self-confidence, offers a constructive alternative for the key after-school hours, and gives kids positive role models in their coaches. It is a game that brings communities together - unifying people from different backgrounds, religions, ethnic groups, and socioeconomics as well as offering parents a way to connect with their kids. Founded in 2005, Pitch In For Baseball & Softball (PIFBS) believes in the power of sport to contribute to positive youth development and build community. PIFBS exists to remove equipment as a barrier to participation for underprivileged children around the world. PIFBS serves as an intermediary and connector between fans of the game, industry leaders, and the broader community to the kids who need the support the most. Over the past 20 years, PIFBS has donated $40 million in equipment to help more than 2.4 million children play ball in every state in the U.S. and 119 countries globally.

IN THE LORD'S HANDS Our basic mission: We desire to be "the Lord's Hands" in helping the poor and the needy. The following materials are from In the Lord's Hands website Photos are on the website. The Lord's Hands NGO WHO ARE WE? ________________________________________ The Lord's Hands is a charitable and humanitarian NGO founded on human and Christian values centered on the true love of neighbor. It has been said: 'Too often we notice the needs around us, hoping that someone from far away will magically appear to meet those needs. Perhaps we wait for experts with specialized knowledge to solve specific problems. When we do this, we deprive our neighbor of the service we could render, and we deprive ourselves of the opportunity to serve. While there is nothing wrong with experts, let us face it: there will never be enough of them to solve all the problems.' We are not experts, nor rich or famous, but we have a reverence for life and a desire to be 'the Lord's Hands' in helping the poor and the needy. Please add greater meaning to your life today and join us in creating a better tomorrow! Our resources consist of financial contributions from active members, donations and volunteer's hours of service.
