Henry Aaron’s life-long passion was to increase minority participation in baseball - whether that was on the field, in baseball operations, on the business side of a front office or at Major League Baseball.
His commitment to creating opportunities, access and equity across the sport he so dominated was unwavering. In continued pursuit of his efforts, the Atlanta Braves announced the formation of The Henry Louis Aaron Fund under the Atlanta Braves Foundation with an initial $1 million commitment. Major League Baseball and the MLBPA committed to match this investment with an additional $1 million.
