The Sandlot Lunch raises money for inner city youth baseball and softball programs in Indianapolis.
All proceeds from the Sandlot Lunch benefits Play Ball Indiana’s RBI (Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities) program.
Our mission is to build good character, foster responsible behavior, encourage the development of baseball and softball skills, promote the enjoyment of healthy competition and teamwork, and to build the values of honesty, fairness, integrity, inclusion and commitment to excellence. This mission is accomplished primarily through the RBI (Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities) Indianapolis program.
