2021 Baseball For Babies NICU Classic

All proceeds are split between Mercy Medical Center and Akron Children's Hospital to benefit their Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU).

In order to maximize the amount of money being donated and allow more people to participate, we decided to utilize the GiveButter Platform to collect money rather than collecting in person. With that being said, you may notice fees when donating for credit card processing and tips to support the GiveButter Platform. Unfortunately to remove these features it requires additional monthly costs or increases the current fee from 0% to 5%. Donations including tips and fees help maximize the amount of money being donated but can be edited while making your donation if you did not want to cover the fees. Any donation is appreciated!

Event History:

In October 1998 Jonathan Harold weighed only 2 pounds and 7 ounces after being born 3 months early at Mercy Medical Center. In 2017, as a senior of Lake High School in Uniontown, OH and a member of National Honor Society, he decided to create an event to give back to the NICU that took care of him.

Since 2017, the fundraiser continues to expand thanks to Lake High School baseball coach Joe Anderson and members of Lake High School National Honor Society. All proceeds are donated to benefit neonatal care and maternity services. This event would be nothing without the support from baseball coaches, teams, and fans around the area.
