Holiday Caravan

Each year, New York Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia and his wife Amber host an annual holiday party for low-income youth from the John E. Grimm III Clubhouse at Madison Square Boys & Girls Club.

This is part of the PItCCh In Foundation Holiday Caravan Program to provide holiday cheer and much needed essentials to youth, ages 5 to 18. Our mission is to enrich the lives of inner city youth by raising their self-esttem through educational and athletic activities in Northern California and the New York Tri-state area.

Amber and CC provides a unique experience for youth to enjoy an evening of food, games and fun. We create a “pop-up store” where the kids can shop and select much needed assortment of clothes, hats, backpacks and more.

Due to the pandemic and the incredible need, we are modifying the event to be safe and socially distant. We hope to provide items to all the kids at the John E. Grimm III Clubhouse. Amber and CC hope this keeps they motivated and inspired to be their best!
