MASONS OF CALIFORNIA ARE COMING OUT SWINGING FOR
YOUTH IN OUR COMMUNITIES!

Every baseball season, the Masons of California partner with Angels Baseball, Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego Padres, and San Francisco Giants Major League Baseball (MLB) teams to bring the fun and team-building skills of baseball to more California kids. MLB foundations in each region are committed to serving the community and providing a positive outlet for children. Throughout the season, teams of Masonic lodges in each region face off in friendly competition to help the most kids they can, by purchasing baseball mitts for children who participate in programs through the MLB foundations. At the end of the campaign in the fall, our grand master will present a check to each of our four MLB partners.

HELPING KIDS – ONE MITT AT A TIME!

Each year, regional teams of Masonic lodges compete to purchase high-quality leather baseball mitts for children who participate in charitable baseball programs. We are now in our 16th year. We have raised over $2,000,000 statewide, which would be over 100,000 mitts.

The charitable baseball programs offered through the Major League Baseball teams provide sports instruction, a safe place to play, help developing teamwork skills, and guidance on health, nutrition, study skills, and more.

Our Major League Baseball foundation partners include:

  • Angels Baseball Foundation
  • Dodgers Foundation
  • Giants Community Fund
