The Reds Community Fund is dedicated to improving the lives of youth throughout Reds Country. We reach thousands of kids through our free baseball, softball and education programs at the Reds Youth Academy, as well as through our introductory Fun At Bat program, Reds Youth Baseball and Softball Funding network and developmental RBI program. We also partner with urban neighborhoods through our regional Field Renovation and annual Community Makeover efforts, which have pivoted recently to support urgent, front-line needs during the COVID-19 crisis. Especially during these challenging times, we are committed more than ever to serve at-risk children and families.
On December 1, 2020, the Reds Community Fund is proud to participate in #GivingTuesday. The global day of giving invites individuals to celebrate the spirit of the holiday season by giving back and initiating change in their communities and the world. Together, we can make a difference.
