Perfect Game Cares Foundation

With help...Children can Rise! Rise out of illness! Rise out of poverty! Rise to a brighter future! Much of what has been accomplished with Perfect Game started with nothing more than an idea. The Perfect Game network began in 1993 with a vision from former scout and college coach Jerry Ford. That vision was simple: "To give young players the best... opportunity for success, to help scouts and recruiters see and evaluate players, and to grow the game of baseball at all levels."

In 2003, The Perfect Game Foundation, Inc. was formed as a 501(c)3 public charity. Jerry decided that the success of Perfect Game allowed great opportunity to use the platform to give back.

Beginning in 2018, a milestone shift occurred when the foundation expanded its footprint to become The Perfect Game Cares Foundation, Inc.
