Play Ball Again

Puerto Rico

Maestro Cares Foundation, along with UNICEF, The Good Bunny Foundation and other partners, worked together to restore 6 Little League fields in Puerto Rico. This initiative was launched by the Local Initiative Support Corporation (LISC) which aimed to restore 25 fields across the island that were destroyed by hurricanes Irma and Maria.

The six baseball fields that Maestro Cares Foundation and The Good Bunny Foundation helped fund are throughout Puerto Rico in the cities of Vega Baja, Loiza, Isla Verde, Yabucoa, and two in Yauco.

Baseball plays a significant role in the development of youth leadership and in creating safe spaces for structured and unstructured leisure time in Puerto Rico. The island is home to a very competitive Little League program, with several thousand youth participants, and is one of the strongest producers of Major League Baseball players.
