Players Alliance’s Gear For Good program is a national player-led donation drive of vital equipment and uniforms often missing from teams in underserved rural and urban areas. The program partners with all 30 MLB to collect gear that will be distributed to communities across the country.

Unfortunately, just wanting to play baseball is not enough – one of the most crucial elements is the equipment needed to play the game. Our players understand that lack of access to equipment means that youth in underserved communities won’t be introduced to the game of baseball or able to properly play, leading to a decline in overall participation and fanship across underserved areas.

Amplifying Black voices is the foundation of our mission. This event series focuses on creating equity and access for community groups, small businesses and advocacy groups in under served neighborhoods across the country.

Launched at All-Star Denver, the Players Alliance hosted a prestigious event at a local Black-owned restaurant in historic Five Points. Known in the early 20th century as the “Harlem of the West,” Five Points remains the perfect backdrop at the intersection of Black history and culture, setting the stage for this monumental night of conversation, networking, and community impact.

The cocktails and conversations format event was moderated by two-time All-Star and MLB Network Lead Studio Analyst Harold Reynolds, AMPLIFIED featured a six-person panel engaging in open, honest dialogue, utilizing the Alliance’s platform to connect city and state leaders directly with members of their communities.
