ABOUT US
The Chris Hammond Youth Foundation was founded by Chris and Lynne Hammond in the midst of Chris’ Major League Baseball career. Motivated by a shared passion for youth development, the foundation exists to make a lasting, positive impact in the lives of underprivileged children.
We believe that every child deserves access to safe and properly equipped spaces to play, grow, and thrive. By providing the resources necessary to create these environments, we help instill critical life values such as discipline, pride, teamwork, leadership, and a commitment to healthy living.
Our programs and partnerships focus on using sports as a platform for change—empowering youth, building stronger communities, and nurturing the next generation of leaders.
OUR VISION
Help youth pursue their dreams by building or maintaining recreation and athletic facilities.
We strive to spread the love of Christ by being the hands and feet of Jesus through sports we have been blessed to play!
WHAT WE DO
We raise money through live and silent auctions, celebrity golf tournaments, and online donations. We have a grant application so that we can help youth and communities in need.
OUR COMMUNITY
We have been blessed with amazing donors, volunteers, and former professional athletes that help us raise money and awareness. We are proud to support youth in need while spreading the Good News!
