Essentials for Kids

100% of money raised will go towards items that local teachers/liaisons identify kids/families may need, but don't necessarily have the means or ability to acquire themselves. This may include food, clothing, school supplies, etc. We will work directly with local family involvement liaisons. These liaisons work with local schools and can identify specific needs of children. This will allow us to know exactly what raised proceeds go towards. We will then be able to share these stories directly with our donors.

Batting For Kids is a nonprofit 501 (c) (3). It was started in 2020 in honor of some very special people we lost too soon. The Batting for Kids Team is focused on bringing the community together to help kids and families in need. With the support of the community we have been able to help with rental assistance, food, clothing, extra curricular activities, therapy expenses, the list goes on! Each winter we help create Holiday gift baskets for over 150 needy households within the Davenport School System. Every summer we help with funds for kids to attend local activities including sports, arts, and outdoor camps.
