Information about Dry Heat Baseball Foundation

                   What Percentage of Donations Go to Charity.

85% off all proceeds donated to Dry Heat Baseball Foundation are routed to our teams and programs. 15% is used to keep our Foundation up and running.

THE PROGRAMS:

Baseball Club Teams: Dry Heat Baseball Foundation was started by high school baseball coaches. We hold baseball true to our hearts. We are raising funds to start 12U,15U 16U baseball club teams. 95 percent of kids in our baseball programs come from inner city areas and have no money to play or buy equipment. Donations will set up teams and uniforms and equipment. We also want to provide players with bat and glove. Baseball Budget 45 to 50 thousand dollars for all teams, Coaches expenses, Uniforms and Equipment and Tournament fees.

After School Programs: We at Dry Heat Foundation understand the daily problems faced by our players: The pressure to join gangs, coping with living in neighborhoods dealing with gang -related crimes and violence, PTSD from living in fear of violence, and suffering the effects of a consistent lack of basic needs and financial resources. Many of our players have little external support and need additional services and role models outside their home and school environments. As such, we hope to incorporate after school programs to address these issues. Our programs will consist of doing homework with teachers, extra one-on-one instruction, and computer training to help with education and build skills.

Guest speakers will talk about our 3 “ANTIS’s: Anti-gangs, Anti- bullying and Anti-violence.

Summer School Programs: Will offer our players the opportunity to enjoy a variety of new experiences aimed to enhance their academic and social skills while giving them a bigger world view. Fieldtrips (Big Surf, Science Center, Concerts and Baseball games) are some of our planned summer activities.

INNER-CITY Stats and NOTES

By: Jeff Killeen Dry Heat Baseball foundation Pres/Ceo

Things that I have learned coaching baseball in Inner-city areas. Members of low-income families, including children, may face high levels of stress and poor mental health (e.g., anxiety, depression) due to the financial and emotional pressures of food insecurity, low-wage work, lack of access to health care, inadequate transportation, poor housing, neighborhood violence, and other factors. Research has linked stress and poor mental health to obesity in children and adults, including (for adults) stress from job-related demands and difficulty paying bills. Emerging evidence also suggests that maternal stress in combination with food insecurity may negatively impact child weight status. Stress and poor mental health may lead to weight gain through stress-induced hormonal and metabolic changes as well as unhealthful eating behaviors and physical in activities.

One thing that I have seen is Low-income youth and adults are exposed to disproportionately more marketing and advertising for obesity-promoting products that encourage the consumption of unhealthful foods and discourage physical activity (e.g., fast food, sugary beverages, television shows, video games) Such advertising has a particularly strong influence on the preferences, diets, and purchases of children, who are the targets of many marketing efforts. This just makes me sick to my stomach that advertisers will not help with low income families. With the help of programs and startups of farmer’s markets. We could help with the efforts of child obesity. They need to be talked to on how bad sugar is in large quantities to our bodies. This is just a list of things that pop up in my head and what I witness pretty much every day coaching baseball. I will be producing more articles on awareness.
