Pinolero Baseball Project

Our mission is to create meaningful opportunities and brighter futures for youth and professionals across Latin America, the United States, and beyond through a sustainable cycle of education, support, and creative expression. We are committed to promoting strong values, building confidence, and empowering individuals to reach their full potential.

We collect gently used sports equipment in the U.S. and deliver it to rural communities in Latin America, where access to such resources is extremely limited. This equipment helps create teams, leagues, and academies that offer youth positive opportunities and alternatives.

Our work is made possible through ongoing fundraising efforts and the generosity of donors, sponsors, and supporters who believe in our mission and choose to contribute financially—helping ignite a cycle of support that empowers communities. We take a hands-on approach by personally collecting and distributing equipment, while also developing and implementing programs on the ground. In every location we serve, we organize and host free events and training camps to engage youth and ensure the resources are used to their fullest potential.
