Each $95 ticket purchased sends one child living in a Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC) neighbourhood to a five-day Rookie League Camp. Jays Care Foundation's Rookie League program, now in its 28th season, uses baseball to teach important life skills to over 1,200 children in Toronto and 8,000 children nation-wide. The Young Professionals Roster is immensely proud to support this national program for the second year in a row.
All proceeds from this event support Jays Care Young Professionals' goal of raising $150,000 for Rookie League programming, ensuring children across Canada can participate in best-in-class baseball for development programming designed to shrink the opportunity gap.
