Philanthropy & Impact

MLB Partnerships

Since 2009, we’ve been working with MLB community fund partners and our fraternity members to raise funds for the purchase of high-quality, leather baseball mitts for young ballplayers throughout the state. Masons4Mitts supports youth leadership development, empower them to learn and play the game, develop collaboration skills, learn about health and nutrition, build productive study habits, and more. After raising more than $2.3 million dollars for youth baseball programs, Masons4Mitts is the largest single sponsor to many of our MLB partners’ community funds.
