The Pitch In Foundation was founded in 2010 by Minnesota Twins baseball player Carl Pavano and his wife, Alissa.  Established with the goal of improving the lives of families and creating hope for children in need, Pitch In has expanded its reach into familiar territory for the Pavano's.  Together with Pitch In, Carl and Alissa have increased resources for local communities in Vermont and Florida where they reside during the off-season. 

A 501(c)(3), Pitch In Foundation is devoted to providing resources to the neighborhoods in need, particularly focusing on the children.  As well as allowing continued success for the organizations they partner with.
