Sterling Sharp's Groundouts for Kids

The Sharpest Player of the Year Award is an annual award that selects deserving African American youth in the Detroit area for baseball scholarship assistance. The more money raised, the more scholarships we can award!

CLICK HERE TO APPLY FOR THE AWARD

In 2021, I was proud to raise over $6,000 and provide three scholarships of $2,000 each to deserving, yet underserved, African American kids in the Detroit area the past two seasons. For 2022, I’m once again teaming up with Detroit PAL to identify and provide financial support and access to more deserving youth…and I’m shooting to double the dollars and the scholarships!

As the cost of playing youth baseball rises, the number of kids left out increases as well, especially African American youth. Please join me in supporting deserving African American youth baseball players in the Detroit area by pledging for every ground ball out that I can induce throughout the 2022 season.

The lessons learned on the field of play go far beyond the diamond. Respect, discipline, teamwork, empathy, understanding, and perseverance - these are just some of the important life lessons that I learned as a kid in Detroit from my experiences with my coaches and teammates on the field. Unfortunately, there are kids out there, including many in the Detroit area, who are denied this opportunity simply because of lack of funds and access.

With your pledges, every out that I’m able to roll will mean more support for kids who deserve it and need it most!
