CARY, N.C. – On September 30, 2020, USA Baseball held its inaugural Day of Giving to raise funds for the organization’s athletes, coaches, national teams, events and programs. During the 24-hour campaign, 154 donors contributed a total of $23,000 in support of USA Baseball’s continued commitment to the growth of amateur baseball across the U.S.

“Our inaugural Day of Giving was a great success,” said Senior Director of Development, Will Chriscoe. “The USA Baseball community truly came together to show its support of Team USA and the growth of amateur baseball in the United States. This is a great foundation for this new program as we aim to support our many initiatives and national teams in the future.”

This year’s Day of Giving donors hailed from 29 different states and all six national team programs received gifts throughout the 24-hour campaign. The organization’s education and development programs, as well as the USA Baseball National Training Complex, also received donations. The largest overall Day of Giving fundraising effort went to the Organization Greatest Needs fund which raised money to support any and all future USA Baseball strategic initiatives and emerging priorities.

Through this campaign, the USA Baseball community did more than just raise money for the future of baseball and Team USA – it raised the hopes of every athlete and coach striving to impact our game and all those who dream of representing the U.S. on the world stage. Every donor opened doors for millions of athletes across the country and invested in their futures as people and players.
