The Marquis Grissom Baseball Association has partnered with parks throughout the metro area to help young players learn the game of baseball and the game of life. His program goes beyond sports by providing financial literacy training and tutoring.
More than 1,600 students have participated in the MGBA program since 2006. The association has awarded over $2.3 million dollars in scholarships to its players and 98 percent of program alumni have received scholarships from colleges and universities.
