BTF Grant Recipient Testimonial

“The Baseball Tomorrow Fund helps Toronto Community Housing, North America’s second largest social housing provider, to provide an opportunity for young people to be physically active, learn life skills and learn the game of baseball. In partnership with Jays Care Foundation, the Rookie League is an eight week summer baseball camp that is provided at no cost to the 700 children and youth from 30 Toronto Community Housing communities across the city of Toronto. The children and youth engaged in the program live in social housing communities and the majority of them come from self-identified visible minority families. Baseball Tomorrow Fund supported Rookie League by donating $5,000 as well as hosting an equipment drive at Rogers Centre, home of the Toronto Blue Jays and helped to donate over 200 pieces of equipment to the program. Toronto Community Housing provides affordable housing and works with partners to connect tenants to opportunities that help create a thriving city for us all. Without the Rookie League program and the Baseball Tomorrow Fund Grant, these future all-stars would not have the opportunity to be exposed to the sport and the magic of baseball.”
