FOUNDATION MISSION
The Future Stars Series Foundation was created with one goal in mind - to provide the opportunity for all players regardless of background, financial situation, or location to have the chance that otherwise they would not have been able to afford. Many players today face barriers to enter the game and lack the resources to overcome those. Your donation today and hopefully monthly will provide the on-going support that is needed to award these opportunities to those most in need.
Will every player you help make it to the Major Leagues? No, but it will give them confidence in believing that they can overcome life's obstacles. The impact that your gift will have goes far beyond the playing field. You will directly play a role in changing a life that could lead to a college education for a young student-athlete who may not of even though graduating high school would be possible. You will have the choice to donate on different levels but please know that with a donation of $5 or $5,000, you are making a difference. We are breaking down barriers and joining us in our quest to provide a level of success for these young players.
ABOUT US
OUR VISION
The Vision of the foundation is to effect positive change in as many areas as we can in people's lives through baseball. We strive to not only remove the financial barrier created in amateur baseball but impact the choices families make in things as important as just being a family while they have the opportunity to do so. We want to help support community and values while assisting in preparing tomorrow's leaders. The sport of baseball is the most difficult game on the planet, and there is no better sport to work with than it when driving home resiliency, understanding, accountability, and hard work.

AREAS of IMPACT
The Future Stars Series Foundation strives to create a level of impact within the athletics community while also supporting other charitable organizations. Players that are chosen to attend certain level events for the New Balance Future Stars Series have the opportunity to raise funds helping pave the way for other players to attend events where a financial barrier exists. These players double the impact by also working with a charity that is selected by the Foundation board. The goal is to create an understanding that our level of impact and paying it forward is bigger than just the game of baseball. We want each player to pay it forward helping other players achieve their dreams just as they are doing without limitations for financial reasons.
The Future Stars Series Foundation Board has approved
No Kid Hungry for the 2023 season:
- No child in America should go hungry, but millions don’t know where their next meal is coming from. The programs to feed hungry kids in our country already exist. The food is out there. But not enough kids are getting it.
- We believe that every child in the United States needs - and deserves - healthy food in order to grow and thrive.
- We believe that racial inequity is a root cause of childhood hunger.
- We believe that the most effective and sustainable anti-hunger programs actively engage their community in driving solutions and decision-making.
- We believe in lifting up the voices of community leaders of color who have been historically left out of philanthropic decision making and seek to work in partnership with community leaders of color to help inform and drive our programmatic and funding strategies and decisions.
- Under-resourced and marginalized communities disproportionately experience poverty and hunger. We know that those on the ground, who really understand their communities, are leaders in creating change. We also recognize that because of various, often layered inequities, these leaders may be underfunded or lack financial resources. Our goal is to minimize financial barriers for schools and community-based organizations to make sure they have the funds needed to provide food to kids.
Major League Baseball YOUTH ACADEMIES
The Futures Stars Series Foundation is proud to work with and support the Major League Baseball Youth Academies in several locations. These academies exist to grow the game in urban areas by providing quality instruction for on and off-the-field skills. The Foundation is pleased to host several events a year while providing scholarship opportunities for several players in each location to attend the New Balance Future Stars Series events. The initiative has already begun to see benefits as several players have earned college scholarships after attending the event in their city. The Foundation has also had the honor of being able to provide full uniforms and New Balance footwear to the Philadelphia location helping players with the proper equipment for safety and success.
