Welcome Back Summer:

The Josh Gibson Foundation is dedicated to preserving the legacy of legendary Negro League baseball player Josh Gibson while inspiring and empowering youth through sports, education and mentorship. The foundation provides programs that teach teamwork, discipline and leadership skills, helping young people develop both on and off the field.

This grant helps fund the Josh Gibson Foundation’s summer programs for students in kindergarten through ninth grade. The programs provide opportunities to strengthen reading and writing skills, participate in field trips and physical activities, and engage in story time and social and emotional learning. For older students, the program offers career and college exploration and supports both academic growth and personal development.
