 "Official Charity of Major League Baseball Umpires"
UmpsCare was initially established in 2005 to assist retired umpires and their families who may have fallen on hard times.
Since that time, both active and retired Major League umpires, along with the business community, have pooled resources to benefit many other organizations including, the JIMMY V Foundation, Eric Gregg Foundation and Baseball Assistance Team (BAT).
As we continue to grow, UmpsCare remains dedicated to our creed,
“Helping people is an easy call” |
