11-Year-Old Baseball Player Raising Money For Children In Pittsburgh Children's Hospital Wants To Team Up With Corporate Sponsors
Elliot Mast is a pitcher, catcher and first basemen for Caporucio’s Baseball at East End Youth Baseball. In February, he officially teamed up with The Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh Foundation. He has dedicated his entire 2010 baseball season to raising awareness and funds for the Children’s Hospital and the Child Life Program. Money raised for this fund makes sure that kids can still be kids - and not just patients - when they're at Children’s Hospital. Insurance doesn't cover these types of necessities and this is why he needs your help!
During the 2010 baseball season (including regular season, all-star season, and travel season play), Elliot will raise money with every pitch and swing of his bat. For every homerun he hits, he will raise $10, for every regular hit, he will raise $2, and for every strike out, he will raise $5. Join his team by becoming a sponsor!

Stay updated via his Blog, Twitter, and Facebook as his baseball season and campaign continues.
