Welcome to Baseball Gives Back of Global Sports Foundation, an IRS 501(c)(3) tax exempt, non-profit public charity. Through a love and passion for baseball, our mission is twofold:

1. We provide gently used and new baseball equipment for underprivileged children and adults in the U.S and the world. The pictures throughout this website are some of the recipients of those generous donations.

2. We also do special events such as charity baseball games as the Midniight Madness Baseball Marathon to raise funds for an individual who is suffering from an illness, such as ALS or cancer. The net proceeds go to the family to help with medical bills or mounting living expenses, due to their ailment.

DATES ARE SET FOR THE 3rd ANNUAL MARATHON GAME THIS SPRING! CLICK HERE

This year's charity marathon game will be held at the all new Sugar Land Skeeters Minor League Ball Park!

Proceeds to help David Gonzalez who has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy medical needs and financial stress.

Amateur players and former pro players of all ages go the distance, a total of twelve non-stop hours of continuous play in just one game for a great cause.

This website is dedicated to all those who suffer or have suffered from cancer and ALS...


Ray Lammie with his wife Barbara                     Dave with Michael Goldsmith @ Doubleday Field Cooperstown 2009

The creation of this website was inspired through the untimely loss of friends Ray Lammie and Michael Goldsmith. Ray created the Eli Barken Charity Events before he passed away from a multi-bout fight with cancer. Michael, who passed away from ALS, brought much needed attention to ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease), by convincing Major League Baseball to have an ALS Awareness Day and Charity created on July 4, 2009, the 70th Anniversary of Gehrig's moving speech at Yankee Stadium.
Ray and Michael were humanitarians, avid baseball players and fans; they are sorely missed...
