Sterling Sharp's Groundouts for Kids 2022-2023

The Sharpest Player of the Year Award has been rewarding deserving African American youth in the Detroit area with baseball scholarship assistance since 2019. The more money raised, the more scholarships we can award!

Having provided ten deserving players with scholarships totaling over $15,000 since 2019, we are excited to continue that support this year. In 2021, I was proud to raise over $6,000 and provide three scholarships of $2,000 each to deserving, underrepresented African American kids in the Detroit area. For 2022-2023, I’m once again teaming up with Detroit PAL to identify and provide financial support and access to more players.

As the cost of playing youth baseball rises, the number of kids left out increases as well - especially in underrepresented communities. Please join me in supporting African American youth baseball players in the Detroit area by pledging for every ground ball out that I can induce throughout the 2022 & 2023 seasons.

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 growing up playing with my coaches and teammates on the field throughout Metro Detroit. Unfortunately, many kids 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!

Thank you for your generous support of my Groundouts for Kids campaign. No pledge or donation is too big or too small. Every little bit helps. Please don’t forget to share your support on social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.).

Sincerely,

Sterling Sharp
