Enabling kids to build confidence, teamwork, and community through the great game of baseball.
Baseball is Back in East Phoenix!
We are excited to introduce the BALSZ Home2First Baseball League (BHBL)— a brand-new league bringing baseball back to the Balsz School District! This program is dedicated to helping young players build skills, teamwork, and confidence while having fun on the field.
Opening Day was Saturday, March 8, 2025!
This marked the start of an unforgettable season for our 40 players (K-2nd grade) as they took the field for their very first games. To kick off the season, we celebrated with an Opening Day Ceremony featuring hot dogs, snacks, and welcoming words from Dr. George Barnes and the Home2First / FIT Foundations.
We’re so grateful for the parents, coaches, and volunteers who make this league possible. BHBL is more than baseball—it’s about community, mentorship, and creating lasting memories for our young athletes.
We collect and distribute baseball equipment to aid underprivileged kids and communities.
Now more than ever, it is vitally important to get kids outside and on the ball field!
THANK YOU FOR THE COLLECTIVE
SUPPORT OF OUR COMMUNITY!
WE REACHED OUR GOAL!!!
Home2First raised more than $15,000 during our annual fundraising campaigns during 2023-2024!
(20% above our goal!)
Home2First partnered with Cold Beers and Cheeseburgers to raise money for teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) in both poor communities and youth baseball academies across the Dominican Republic (DR) as well as providing funding for a new baseball league in East Phoenix, and scholarships for financially challenged AZ-based players looking to participate in local travel baseball teams!
100% of donated funds will go to kids in need!
We DEEPLY appreciate the support of so many local people!
Show your support by making a donation to help make the dreams of aspiring ballplayers a reality.
