TEAM SPONSORSHIP IMPACT REPORT At Harlem RBI, when kids play baseball and softball, they learn valuable life skills to use on and off the field. Thanks to generous donors like you, our Team Sponsorship program fielded 68 teams and 12 leagues in East Harlem and the South Bronx this summer, leading to incredible results. Here’s a look back at what our youth accomplished this season.
