Mariners Fund Black Youth Baseball Dreams | Seattle News
Description
The Seattle Mariners are making history by investing over $100,000 in Black youth baseball through the Steelhead Community Fund, honoring the legacy of the 1940s all-Black Seattle Steelheads. Grants support Kent’s Baseball & Softball Beyond Borders ($75K) and the Black Heritage Society of Washington State, empowering young athletes with coaching, career workshops, and educational tools. The Mariners’ leadership sees this as more than sports—it’s about breaking barriers, preserving Black heritage, and building pathways to opportunity for underserved youth. A new youth academy is in the works, designed to cultivate leadership and dreams on and off the field.
