Grow the Game Fund
Perfect Game has been the leader in growing the game of baseball in all ages, in all ways. In 2021, Perfect Game Cares launched a program dedicated to providing opportunities for baseball and softball players from the many underserved and at-risk communities across America.
This fund is a partnership of Perfect Game, Perfect Game Cares, Perfect Game alumni, current and former MLB players and corporate partners from across America.
If you know of a player in need of financial assistance to attend a Perfect Game Showcase or to offset the expense of travel baseball/softball, please reach out to Executive Director Jennifer Ford at [email protected] or 319-640-0556 to begin the application process.
