With the help of generous supporters, The 6-4-3 Foundation is working diligently to make a positive impact in our community and model charitable behavior for the young people in our midst. The mission of The 6-4-3 Foundation is to enhance the lives of children and families through sports.
Since the earliest days of The 6-4-3 Foundation’s existence, a focus on scholarship assistance programs has been important and strategic to our mission. The Foundation has steadily grown its merit-based scholarship, 6-4-3 need-based scholarship, and non-6-4-3 need-based scholarship initiatives.
Since 2014, seven Kelly and Mike Price merit-based scholarships have been granted to graduating 6-4-3 high school seniors to assist with their college academic expenses. To date, a total of $10,500 has been disbursed to outstanding applicants inside 6-4-3’s academy.
Since 2014, 23 need-based scholarships have been granted to 6-4-3 academy players (ages 8-18) through a standard application and eligibility protocol. To date, a total of $19,700 has been given to qualified players inside 6-4-3’s academy to help with team and/or academy related expenses.
Over the last two years, a total of $3,900 has been granted for need-based scholarships to youth athletes outside of the 6-4-3 population. The 6-4-3 Foundation has partnered with two local non-profits, H.A.S. Foundation and The Dave Krache Foundation, to help provide recreational sports opportunities for youth in families facing financial challenges. With the help of our partners and your worthwhile support, The 6-4-3 Foundation hopes to significantly grow this area of impact in the coming years.
