The Sacramento region's annual 24-hour fundraising event for nonprofits! Big Day of Giving provides an opportunity for donors to show their appreciation and support for Sacramento, California-area nonprofits like Keep Playing Baseball.

We are excited to be participating in Big Day of Giving for the second time in 2020!
The Sacramento Regional Community Foundation capacity building program helps local nonprofits like KPB hone their skills in marketing, social media, and board and donor engagement. The program culminates on Thursday, May 7th, with the 24-hour fundraiser and provides an opportunity for KPB users and supporters all over the country step up to the plate to support our organization with a donation (minimum $15). We know these are particularly challenging times, but for people who can afford to support our mission and resources with a donation, every dollar helps and we appreciate greatly appreciate it!

Big Day of Giving is one of Keep Playing Baseball's main annual fundraisers. During these uncertain and challenging times, we realize that people may not be able to give like usual, if at all. Our goal is to get as many unique donations of any amount. We hope you'll consider showing your support! Visit KPB's Big Day of Giving profile on GivingEdge HERE and schedule your donation (starting April 20). Each donation (of any amount) that we receive on May 2nd enters KPB into the running for "prize money boosts". These boosts can mean as much as $1,000 added on to your donation, thanks to Western Health Advantage and the Sacramento Regional Community Fund. Donations made with a Golden1 Cards will be matched by the Credit Union, so please consider using that card if you have one!

Keep Playing Baseball doesn't believe in passing the cost of its resources on to players or families. We never want money to dictate who has access to necessary information and resources that they need to make educated and informed decisions in the college search and recruiting process. We want all players to have what they need to play college baseball and earn a college degree.

Your donation makes a huge difference in allowing us to improve our free resources and reach more players and families in need of affordable help. Learn about our work and the educational programming that your donation will support in this short video!
