🇺🇸 Turn the sound on for this one.

A moment we won’t forget from the Grandyman Youth Tournament.

400 players from 25+ Chicago neighborhoods came together over Memorial Day weekend for four days of baseball, softball and community. âšľ Shout out to .chi

Latinos, Venezuelans, Colombians, baseball players from all over Chicago coming together through the game ⚾️

For many of these kids, opportunities like this don’t come around often. New fields, new experiences, and a chance to see what’s possible both on and off the field.

Appreciate Martin and for sharing their story and continuing to pour into the next generation.

What happens when you invest in more than just the game? ⚾️

You create safe spaces, stronger communities, and opportunities that reach far beyond the field.

Earlier this week, CBEA joined Cubs Charities, the Robert R. McCormick Foundation, and community leaders from across Chicago to celebrate the impact being made in all 77 neighborhoods through baseball, softball, education, and youth programming.

From serving thousands of student-athletes to creating spaces where kids can grow with confidence, the work continues because of collaboration like this.

Appreciate Cubs Charities for bringing everyone together and shining a light on the power of community partnerships. 🙌

Wait… what does a baseball organization have to do with construction trades? ⚾🏗️

Everything.

Because at CBEA, it’s never just been about baseball. It’s about exposure, opportunity, and helping students see futures they may not have thought were possible.

A few months ago, students from Collins Academy High School visited HIRE360 for a firsthand look at careers in the trades, apprenticeship programs, and the different pathways available after high school.

Some students walked in curious. Some walked out seeing a future they hadn’t considered before. That’s why opportunities like this matter.

Big thanks to , , and for helping us continue to create spaces where Chicago students can grow on and off the field.

“You want to be good? Everybody wants that. But what are you willing to do when nobody’s watching?” 👀⚾️

That’s the type of message brought to our students. Real conversations about discipline, pressure, confidence, and what it actually takes to reach the next level.

More than highlights. More than stats. This is the educational side of the game that sticks with young athletes long after practice ends.

What if the most important part of baseball… had nothing to do with baseball?

In Pilsen, it’s about a father and son.
Lessons passed down.
Confidence built.
A path shaped far beyond the field.

This is what it’s really about.

More than the game. Always.

Opportunities in baseball don’t stop between the lines ⚾️

Through our partnership with UMPS CARE Charities, CBEA student athletes are seeing the game from a new perspective while building confidence, leadership, and real pathways in sports.

Learning the craft of officiating is just part of it. The bigger win is developing communication, decision making, and poise under pressure that carries far beyond the field.

This is what growth looks like on and off the field.

You can’t fake this kind of energy.

This is what happens when preparation meets opportunity and a team shows up for each other.

Carrying this into Easter weekend.
