Curtis and Citi share an ongoing commitment for bettering New York city communities. The long-term partnership began in 2014 with a Community Home Runs initiative at Citi Field that that raised funds to fight childhood hunger. Together, we’ve raised millions of dollars for community groups in need in the tri-state area.
Grand Kids Academy has worked with Citi Bike to provide free annual bike sharing memberships to children in need, through our Summer Series program that also provides free MLB game tickets to children from low-income families.
Another indispensable partner of the Grand Kids Foundation, Delta supports Grand Kids Academy programming by hosting fundraisers and contributing services & funds to special events, including the Grand Kids 10th anniversary party. Grand Kids also collaborates with Delta on a Holiday in the Hanger initiative to deliver a fun and memorable 'North Pole' experience to children in need.
Curtis and Slugger have donated thousands of bats to inner city youth baseball and softball programs since their partnership began. With access to high quality equipment, Grand Kids Academy program participants enjoy developing their baseball skills even more.
Curtis Granderson’s custom Rawlings Pro H Web glove has made countless plays on and off the field - including more little league clinics than we can possibly count. Rawlings has gifted more than 10,000 gloves to Grand Kids Academy camp programs, an opportunity that introduces many young children the great game of baseball for the very first time.
