Marietta, Georgia (Cobb County)
The 6-4-3 Foundation, with the help of the 6-4-3 DP Baseball families, is pleased to continue supporting It’s the Journey for the 13th year! Our tradition of honoring mothers, bringing awareness to an issue familiar to many and raising money for cancer research remains an important part of our connection to the community. Each year, 6-4-3 players and families sport pink jerseys, shirts and hats during Mother’s Day weekend to raise awareness for breast cancer care, prevention and research. We are able to donate 100% of the proceeds from the sale of those items to It’s The Journey, Inc, a local nonprofit dedicated to increasing access to breast care and reducing disparities to cancer outcomes.
Through the generosity of many, this year The 6-4-3 Foundation raised $8,000 for the cause! Since The 6-4-3 Foundation was created in 2013, the organization has raised over $50,000 in an effort to strike out breast cancer (in addition to the $14,700 raised and donated by 6-4-3 teams prior to the foundation’s existence). With over $65,000 in funds raised by both organizations, we are proud of the support of our community and the 6-4-3 families over those 13 years.
The leadership teams of The 6-4-3 Foundation and 6-4-3 DP Baseball extend gratitude and thanks to the many teams, players, coaches and parents that participated in the very worthy awareness and fundraising drive for Mother’s Day weekend 2023.
