Marimn Health would like to extend a huge thank you to Pitch in For Baseball & Softball for awarding us an equipment grant for our 2019 Baseball Season. They provided us with gently used bats, brand new catcher’s set, helmets, new baseballs, and new tee-ball/youth baseball mitts! With their help, we were able to provide more comfortably fitting helmets, better gloves for some of our youth, more suitable baseball bat sizes, provide equipment for our players – sparing our parents some additional expenses and generating more excitement during games thanks to our kids wanting to show off the new gear!
