Mitzvah Project Idea: Pitch In For Baseball

If your son or daughter is a baseball enthusiast and is looking for a worthy mitzvah project, look no further than Pitch In For Baseball.  Pitch In For Baseball helps bring baseball to underserved communities around the world. Most students hold an equipment donation drive, where they leave a box or barrel in the lobby of their temple or school and ask for donations of gently used or new baseball equipment.  If you are using baseball bats and gloves as part of your party decor, think of donating these items after the party to their organization. Or ask your guests to bring a gently used glove, bat, etc. to the party so they can take part in your mitzvah project as well.  The baseball equipment collected by Pitch In For Baseball is then distributed to young players who would love to play baseball but cannot afford to purchase the equipment on their own.  They have distributed equipment to young players as far away as Baghdad, Iraq and the Philippines, and as close as Philadelphia and Washington DC. What a way to "hit a home run" with your mitzvah project!
