The PitCCh In Foundation was founded in 2008. The first event took place in Cleveland, and it became a 501(c)(3) in 2010- established by New York Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia and his wife Amber to give back to the communities that gave them so much. CC’s mother, Margie Sabathia-Lanier, played a key role in launching the foundation.

• The foundation features three signature programs designed to equip young people with tools for success both in school and on the field: the All-Star Baseball Clinic, Youth Backpack Program, and Field Renovations.

• CC and Amber were inspired not just by the idea of giving back, but by creating a lasting platform to help young people believe in themselves and turn their dreams into reality.
