The Going to Bat Foundation is committed to re-building communities through sport, and growing the game of baseball in under-privileged, strife torn and disaster ravaged parts of the USA. We are a baseball charity based in Southern California but serving the entire country. Donate your baseball equipment! We accept donations of new and "experienced" baseball equipment including bats, gloves, catcher's gear, baseballs and sets of uniforms. "Experienced" equipment is defined as equipment that is not in need of immediate repair. We also do fundraising and accept monetary donations to cover the costs of storing and shipping donated baseball equipment and repairing or building infrastructure. Going to Bat is a non-profit foundation and all donations are tax-deductible to the full extent provided by law.
