Our Story

Fielding Hope is a non-profit organization founded by SGM Steven Gilboy, a dedicated veteran who understands firsthand the challenges and obstacles that many veterans face. Having experienced the transformative power of training camps with professional baseball teams, such as the Brewers and the Royals, SGM Steven Gilboy envisioned a way to provide the same opportunities for every veteran. He realized that the combination of physical activity, goal-oriented teamwork, and the camaraderie of a team could play a significant role in the rehabilitation and well-being of veterans.

Driven by his belief in the power of baseball to positively impact the lives of veterans, SGM Steven Gilboy made the decision to turn his vision into a reality, and Fielding Hope was born. Since our inception, Fielding Hope has received tremendous interest and support. This response is a testament to the recognition of the numerous benefits that baseball can provide in the rehabilitation and recovery process of veterans.

At Fielding Hope, we believe that baseball, through its physical demands and team dynamics, can help veterans regain their physical strength, improve mental well-being, and develop a sense of purpose and belonging. Our programs offer a unique opportunity for disabled veterans to participate in the sport they love, while also fostering an environment of camaraderie and support.

Through Fielding Hope, SGM Steven Gilboy and our dedicated team are committed to making a difference in the lives of veterans. We strive to provide veterans with a renewed sense of hope, empowerment, and purpose as they navigate their journey from the battlefield to the baseball diamond.

Join us at Fielding Hope as we continue to bridge the gap between military service and civilian life, using the transformative power of baseball to support and uplift our veterans. Together, we can make a lasting impact on the lives of those who have bravely served our nation.
