Following Henry Aaron’s passing in 2021, the Atlanta Braves, Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association created the Henry Louis Aaron Fund to support Hank’s life-long passions:
- Expanding equity and access in youth baseball/softball through initiatives that remove barriers and draw kids from underrepresented communities into the game
- Increasing access and opportunity for diverse representation in baseball’s front offices
The HLAF operates under the umbrella of the Atlanta Braves Foundation, which provides development, programming and operational support for the initiatives of the HLAF.
