Testimonials

Dear B.A.T. Team,

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the financial grant you generously provided to assist me during this critical stage of my life. On June 10, I began chemotherapy for prostate cancer, which was found to have spread to my bones, as shown on a PET scan performed on June 2.

In addition, I have been diagnosed with blood cancer, and I have a scheduled appointment with a liver specialist on the 19th of this month to further evaluate my condition and treatment options.

This diagnosis has changed my life, and the physical and emotional toll is significant. The financial assistance from B.A.T. has made a meaningful difference, easing the burden and allowing me to focus on my treatment and recovery. Your support reminds me that I am not alone in this fight; that there is a community that cares and stands with me.

Thank you again for standing by me during this time.

With sincere appreciation,
Jorge Aranzamendi

Dear Baseball Assistance Team (B.A.T.),

The reason for my letter is to express my most sincere gratitude to your management, administrators, logistical and operational staff. Additionally, for your great generosity in your management of labor services, effectiveness and efficiency that has been demonstrated. As a former professional baseball player who has been unemployed, you have given me the opportunity to venture into what I am passionate about.

The Baseball Assistance Team has created a significant impact both for me and other former players. In addition, B.A.T. is one of the fundamental back bones of Major League Baseball. B.A.T. has been involved in helping with financial support, educational scholarships, housing, food, medical, among other things.

I would like to note that the Career Transition team for B.A.T. has been involved in my academic, athletic and work development. I appreciate their support and all the follow-ups in my professional development and training as a former baseball player. I congratulate them for their professionalism, capacity, insight, skills and responsibility that has been developed with their motivation.

Thank you very much,
Carlos A. Ortega G.

I want to wholeheartedly thank the Baseball Assistance Team for granting me this scholarship so I can study aviation, a dream of mine since I was a child. It represents a great opportunity and enormous motivation to continue working toward becoming an airline pilot. I promise you I'm taking full advantage, and giving my best effort in every class and on every flight. Thank you for trusting me and being part of this journey that’s just beginning.
