We set a big, bold goal this April to raise $50,000 for our “Renewing Home Base” campaign because our 4th-8th graders deserve nothing less. We are so thrilled to share we surpassed the goal TODAY! Thank you for helping us reach home plate!

To our students, their families, our school partners, our staff, and our nonprofit partners, take good care of yourselves this week. We are behind you, and we love you.

Here at Pitch In, we continue to grieve for the life of Adam Toledo, who was the same age as our Pitch In students, and we implore the residents of our city to look inward and act with compassion to improve the complex, societal conditions that lead to tragedies like this one.

"Seeing the resilience of our students every day, I am reminded that if we can collectively find a way to harness their brilliance and ensure they have the tools to engage civically, our world is destined to be a better place."
