Join the Italian American Baseball Foundation as we celebrate a decade of impact, opportunity, and community at our 10th Anniversary IABF Gala. Since 2016, IABF has worked to bridge the gap between Italy and the United States through baseball and softball, creating life-changing educational, athletic, and cultural opportunities for student-athletes on both sides of the Atlantic.
This special evening will bring together players, coaches, supporters, alumni, partners, and friends of the foundation to honor our accomplishments, recognize outstanding contributors, and raise funds for future scholarships and programs. Guests will enjoy an unforgettable evening of dining, networking, inspiring stories, and celebration as we look back on ten years of growth and ahead to the next chapter of IABF’s mission.
