We are a volunteer driven Nonprofit dedicated to helping premature babies.
100% of proceeds help bring more babies home.
Our Mission
In May of 2008, I watched my sister-in-law hold her preemie, baby daughter, McKenzie. God decided He needed her by His side. I remember being in this small room with all of our immediate family, kissing her goodbye. I remember how peaceful McKenzie looked. I remember thinking how beautiful this angel was and could have become. I remember how blessed we were to have her cross our paths. She made us strong.
McKenzie was born premature at 28 weeks, weighing 1 pound, 4 ounces. For 19 days, she fought incredibly hard, smothered with tubes, and medical personnel, struggling with every breadth. The day before she passed, my sister-in-law called my brother from the NICU, excited to tell him that McKenzie now weighed 2 pounds. Faith is a powerful thing. We were ALL sure she would pull through.
My brother and his wife are high school sweet hearts. They did everything they could to keep their little girl alive. I could not believe God stepped in and took "Mini Mac”. Watching my brother and his wife bury McKenzie the next day is a painful memory that is indelible in my mind. I hope I will never experience that again.
It took me a while to understand “why". Why I had to watch my niece fight for her life, only to lose. Why I had to watch my brother and sister-in-law carry their child to her grave. Witnessing McKenzie's fight made me realize how special and fragile life is. We only get one, and she opened my eyes.
So, I made a promise to McKenzie that day. I was not able to save her, and I will do everything I can to save other babies like her.
This mission is about leaving a legacy - one baby at a time, that we wish we could have back. One baby you wish you could help survive prematurity is our focus.
Baseball for Babies™ has no CEO's. This is a PEOPLE's charity. Our end goal is to have a National Baseball for Babies Day, celebrated through-out all 30 Major League Baseball Teams. That’s not to say it is a baseball-only charity. We have had help from many other partners, as well. We donate every dollar, 100% of the proceeds, to help the babies, their parents, and for research to eventually save 100% of the babies.
We want to show the MLB, and the world, that their fans want this. So, please buy tickets to our events, whether you come or not (we donate the unused tickets to underprivileged kids), and get your gear to show your support! Or, just plain DONATE!
Together, we can bring more babies home!
