A young organization established in 2004, Pitching in for Kids was inspired by local business owners wanting to give back to the community. Already having established themselves within the community, Carol Troxell and Sara Youngelson decided to take their passion of community involvement to the next level. Starting up Pitching in for Kids (PIFK) has become one of their most exciting adventures! The organization is growing fast, having added even more events to this years calender, some of which include The First Annual Capital Grille Golf Tournament, A Candy Land Tournament, Poker Tournaments as well as the sponsorship of an eight foot Gingerbread House Project!!

Pitching in for Kids has received press from NECN, The Boston Herald, The Boston Globe, The Metro, ESPN Radio as well as WEEI. The word is out...we are looking forward to bringing you more exciting events in the months to come!!
