Despite the overcast day the PitCCHin Foundation Team 52 Day was a success. With the help of its support we raised over $5,000.
Throughout the year, the Foundation calls on its Team 52 volunteers to support program activities and foundation events. Team 52 volunteers have helped to raise money, stuff & handout backpacks, and help the Foundation with its Holiday giveaway.
Team 52 running team was established in 2013 with 5 runners. We now have a community of over 100 runners who fundraise and train throughout the year for the NYRR Half Marathon, The Brooklyn Half, The Bronx 10 Mile, and The New York City Marathon. To date, our Team 52 runners have raised over $600,000 for our signature programs.
The PitCCh In Foundation was established in 2008 with its first event in Cleveland and incorporated as a 501(c)(3) in 2010 by New York Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia and his wife Amber to help the communities that have given them so much. With the support of CC’s mother, Margie Sabathia-Lanier, and a dedicated team of professional staff and volunteers, the foundation showcases three signature programs that provide young people with the tools to be successful in school and on the field: All Star Baseball Clinic, Youth Backpack Program and Field Renovations. CC and Amber were motivated by not only the idea of giving back, but by developing a long term platform with the foundation to provide young people with the belief in their abilities and to make their dreams become a reality.
