Step Up to the Plate for Special Kids.
Helping Foster Kids, Military Families & Children with Disabilities Play Ball!
Our mission is to help special and sometimes overlooked kids learn the lessons of sportsmanship, persistence, and teamwork, through participation in youth athletics and a trip to the Ball Park.
Investing in Lessons Learned on the Field.
Many times, foster children, military families, and kids with developmental or physical disabilities are unable to participate in sports. Due to lack of access, resources, or parental support, these children can lose out on important life lessons needed to succeed in the future.
Data confirms that children who participated in organized youth sports and outdoor activates, grew up to become healthier, more productive, and community-oriented adults.
Helping kids play today, creates a better, brighter and safer tomorrow.
Gifting a Day at the Ball Park.
Investing in youth sports initiatives that help kids learn important life lessons is half the mission. Sauer Home Runs is also striving to give the experience of a professional, minor league, or collegiate game day to boys and girls in foster care, participants in Special Olympics, and the children of military service members.
Many times, these special kids have never had the opportunity to take in a live sporting event or see adults demonstrate the behaviors of positive play.
Witnessing role models strike out, but rally back, or lead their team to persevere against all odds can inspire grit and goals in a child.
Help us give the gift of a game to these special sports fans!
