ABOUT US
What does Walk Off have in store for the next academic year?
-
Walk Off is bringing the local youth baseball world to Sans Souci with the inaugural Celebration of Baseball - tournaments for Under 8, Under 10, and Under 12
-
Expanding the free baseball leagues to other parks and associations while offering a discount for players returning from this year
-
More clinics to further our outreach in the community, with each kid continuing to get a glove to take home
-
Building more partnerships within the youth sports community to encourage participation, but also assist in marketing to parents
We’ve come a long way in a short time and we’re making a real impact on these children and their families. We wouldn’t be here without your support!
In two years, Walk Off Charities has made massive strides in size and scope with its programs thanks to our donors! Here’s the highlights from this past year:
-
FREE youth baseball leagues this spring for 200 children, each one getting their own glove, with 90 percent getting to play an organized season for the first time
-
More than 1,200 third graders have gone through our clinics as a field trip thanks to our partnership with Duval County Public Schools
-
Each child at the clinic received their own glove while being introduced to the sport by some of the top high school coaches in the area
-
Walk Off hosted its first high school baseball tournament in February, with eight teams competing at Sans Souci Park and the championship games were televised
-
Gave gloves and a new pitching machine to the youth baseball teams at Grand Park
