Batting for Kids Inc. works to bring the local community together to empower children and families in need to help them succeed and to hopefully live happier lives.
We envision a world where children are treated equally and given the resources they need to have success in school and everyday life. Including food to fuel them through their day, clothing they can be confident wearing, and anything else needed to thrive in the classroom and home environments.
100% of money raised will go towards items that local teachers identify kids may need, but don't necessarily have the means or ability to acquire themselves. This may include food, clothing, school supplies, etc. We will work directly with local family involvement liaisons. These liaisons work with local schools and can identify specific needs of children. This will allow us to know exactly what raised proceeds go towards. We will then be able to share these stories directly with our donors.
Multiplex Cloud will host the event, and will be matching up to $5,000 for the Essentials for Kids campaign.
We plan to hold the event outside to help with social distancing.
We also hope to have the following events available.
Online Silent Auction (starts 3pm and will close at 8pm) Items will be displayed onsite and have text to bid/online bidding
