History

Established in 2008.

Grand Slam was born through the recognition of the many benefits participation in sports can have on children and youth. Participation in organized sports provides an opportunity for young people to increase their physical activity while making valuable contributions to physical, social and emotional skill development and well-​being.

Grand Slam combines a powerful sense of social consciousness, cultural relevance, and program innovation in developing initiatives and services designed to meet the full range of these youth’s needs. Grand Slam’s distinct position lies in its efforts to meet urban youth needs by anchoring its program offerings in organized sports such as baseball and softball.

Belkis L.

Business Owner

Its Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer, Belkis Lora set the overall direction of the Grand Slam Foundation. Ms. Lora is a single mother who has been working hands-​on with Bronx families and their children for the past ten years. During this time, she has coached many little league baseball teams and came to learn first-​hand that these groups of families and children needed many other resources in order to be able to achieve their goals of offering children opportunities to be successful off and on the field. She therefore set out to build an indoor batting cage so that children and their families did not have to travel long distances in order to access these types of practice facilities.
