GivingTuesday is a worldwide celebration of generosity and charitable giving , organized to help spotlight worthy nonprofits and other charitable causes. As a nonprofit, we rely on charitable donations to help achieve our mission of bringing the highest quality baseball and softball instruction to the youth of NYC in the most inclusive way.
The support of our families - our family - was more evident than ever this year, as we faced larger challenges than we ever had before. And our survival is due to the selflessness and generosity of the community we serve. When we needed you, you were there for us. And we still need you.
With the unpredictability of last year's events, our revenue dipped, repairs were postponed, belts were tightened. Yet we maintained our low prices and offered financial assistance when requested. And as part of our new partnership with HRPT, which is responsible for managing Park facilities like Pier 40 in the public trust, making the majority of our programming low-cost and accessible to all is an actual mandate rather than simply our calling.
Whether you currently have children in our programs, or they are now off onto the next stages of their lives, or if you are a former player of ours - or even if you are reading this message without any previous experience with P3 - your support is needed, welcome and greatly appreciated. Donations of any size will help us catch up on equipment repair and upgrades, restock our supplies, pay our coaches, and continue to offer financial assistance where needed.
We hope that you remember P3 in your year-end charitable giving. If your employer offers gift matching, this can deepen the impact of your generosity even further. Thank you for your generosity and support at this time, and throughout the year. We wish you and yours all the best in the holidays and new year.
With deepest gratitude,
Pete, Francisco and all the coaches at P3
