Overview

Mission

Keeper of The Game Foundation serves those with special needs and disabilities. We provide many opportunities involving baseball and softball activities, such as putting baseball/softball clinics for those with cognitive and physical disabilities, and taking special needs school classes and special needs families to baseball games. We provide annual scholarship money to St Timothy's Christian Academy, a private special needs school. We also create service opportunities for baseball and softball players and teams. We have student athletes and professional athletes volunteer during our clinics. We also put on the largest food drive in Frisco, Texas having Frisco high school teams compete to see who can collect the most donations for Frisco Family Services Food Market.

What it reported doing in 2024

Keeper of The Game Strike Out Hunger Food Drive. The food drive ended up providing about 30,000 items (canned goods and other grocery items) Frisco Family Services Market (food pantry). Items were donated and no funds were collected or distributed through the drive. Our costs were for awards (pizza) to the baseball and softball program that donated the most.
