Mission Statement
Our mission is to foster a positive relationship between a worthy child and a mentor through tutoring and attendance at Chicago Cubs baseball games. Buddies Through Baseball will reinforce the personal values of friendship, kindness, and appreciation for community along with the values exemplified from the game of baseball that include teamwork, perseverance, and humility.
Description
We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charity that pairs a Chicago-area child of need with a mentor who helps them with their school work and takes them to Cubs games throughout the season while serving as a positive role model in their life.
Each mentor and mentee participate in two activities a month. One is a tutoring session where the mentor helps the mentee with a subject in school and the other is a Cubs game or fun activity.
