DC BATTER UP

DC Batter Up! is a District of Columbia not-for-profit corporation that awards scholarships to baseball and softball student athletes in the city and makes grants to D.C. based youth baseball and softball programs... In 2012, the city created the D.C. State Athletic Association (DCSAA), which was modeled in part on the D.C. High School Baseball Classic format. For several years thereafter, the DCHSBC and the DCSAA operated the baseball and softball championships and All-Star games under a private-public partnership. Eventually, the DCSAA assumed full responsibility for the operation of these events, thus allowing our organization to fulfill its mission in other ways. After careful consideration of how best to serve the community in the years to come, the DCHSBC decided that it would continue to offer assistance to local baseball and softball programs, but also shift its attention to another need facing youth athletes in the District - funding the transition to higher education.
