ABOUT C YOU IN THE MAJOR LEAGUES

Dayton and Marianne Moore founded C You In The Major Leagues in November 2013, and it officially launched in February 2014 with a "Night with Ned" fundraiser at Bob Allen Ford. The foundation’s mission is to provide character-based mentoring for students, while giving support and hope to families in crisis. In 2019, C You In The Major Leagues, which started as a component fund of Servant Foundation, passed the $1-million mark in grants given.

The foundation’s signature program is C-10 Mentoring & Leadership, which is in its seventh year. C-10 provides mentoring, life preparedness, community service opportunities and post-high school scholarships to high school students, mainly from under-resourced areas of Kansas City. To date, 60 students from 26 high schools have been a part of C-10, along with 64 adult mentors. Among the 60 students, there have been six families with siblings in the program. Going into the 2024-25 school year, C-10 students and mentors have completed 46 service projects in the Kansas City community, heard from 48 guest speakers, and have taken 17 career exploration field trips.

CYITML also oversees a character-based, instructional tee ball league, and two annual baseball camps.
