“Changing Lives through the game we love.”
The AEBA Cares Foundation is an extension of AEBA Inc., serving as a beacon of opportunity, inspiration, and community impact for young athletes across Arizona.
As a registered 501(c)(3) youth non-profit, we are committed to elevating the futures of creative, passionate, and hard-working athletes — not only by developing their skills on the baseball field, but by providing them with life lessons and life-changing opportunities through the game off the field.
THE ELITE Vision
Our goals for each athlete extend far beyond the baseball field. We are not just building great athletes — we are shaping well-rounded young people who lead with character, embrace diversity, and uplift those around them. By instilling an early commitment to service, we empower our players to become responsible citizens who strengthen their communities today and inspire the next generation tomorrow.

Facility Improvements & Access
Current Support goes towards field rentals, maintenance projects at La Casa and Arizona ballfields, and access to training facilities to give our players a safe and maintained environment. A major struggle for youth baseball in Arizona right now is access to consistent, well-conditioned fields. Our dream is to build a 4-field stadium with an indoor hitting and infield complex with 24/7 member access — a true hub where young athletes of Greater Phoenix Arizona can train, study film, and grow together without having to take a back seat to older athletes.

team & Staff Travel
Our coaches dedicate their time and energy to guiding players, but travel expenses add up quickly. In the Spring 2025 season alone, 8 travel tournaments with 2–3 coaches per trip cost over $25,000.

“Baseball isn’t just a game it’s a love. I love to compete and be with my teammates and friends. I love to be on the field and get challenged. Arizona elite is what has brought me to where I am today. Through being challenged it has helped my game but more importantly has shaped me as a person. My goals are yes to get better at baseball but more importantly get challenged and do hard things. Baseball makes me happy makes me smile and is a game I love.”
