Sandlot Stars

Low-income children are up to six times more likely to quit sports due to the high costs of participation, including pay-to-play fees and equipment expenses.

To help reduce these costs, the Amazin’ Mets Foundation donates equipment and funds grants to local little leagues to support their athletes’ access to the game, break down barriers, and increase opportunities for young boys and girls to become future ballplayers.

The Foundation supports Pitch In For Baseball & Softball to fund the purchase of brand-new equipment for local youth baseball, softball, and t-ball teams.

Through the Sandlot Stars program, the Foundation has provided brand new equipment to more than 9,000 youth baseball and softball players across the Tri-State area, Port St. Lucie, Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico.
