The Jerry Ford Grow the Game Fund

Every child deserves a chance! Every child deserves a champion!

In 2021, the Rise 2 Greatness Foundation launched a program dedicated to providing opportunities for baseball and softball players from the many underserved communities across America.

This fund is a partnership of Rise 2 Greatness, current and former MLB players, community leaders and corporate partners from across America.

If you know of a player in need of financial assistance to attend a showcase or to offset the expense of travel baseball/softball, please fill out the application.
