Because Drew Loved the Game
In February 2026, the Drew Gross Forever Foundation donated $8,000 in Youth Baseball Scholarships to help more children participate in camps and league play—honoring Drew’s lifelong passion for the game and mentorship.
Playing It Forward
Drew didn’t coach because he had to. He coached because he loved the game—and loved sharing that joy with others.
As a gifted athlete and devoted volunteer coach for both boys and girls baseball and softball teams, Drew believed in creating opportunities for kids to grow in confidence, teamwork, and character.
This scholarship gift helps ensure more children can access baseball skills camps and league play through Danny Berry Baseball, continuing Drew’s quiet, generous spirit.
Opening the Field to More Kids
Youth sports build more than athletic ability. They build resilience, friendship, discipline, and belonging.
Youth Baseball Scholarships help remove financial barriers so more children can participate fully in the game.
For some families, that support makes all the difference. For us, it’s a natural extension of Drew’s love for playing—and passing that love on.
Honoring Drew in Action
The Drew Gross Forever Foundation carries forward three commitments that reflect Drew’s life and values:
Increase awareness of colorectal cancer, particularly among younger adults
Encourage early screening through education and community outreach
Support youth athletics
and mentorship
Sports were never just about competition for Drew. They were about connection, growth, and joy.
Impact Takes Many Forms
Sometimes “impact” looks like encouraging someone to schedule a life‑saving screening.
Sometimes it looks like handing a child a glove and watching confidence take root.
Both matter.
Both change lives.
One simple moment on a baseball field can shape a child’s confidence for years to come.
Every opportunity that opens the game to more young players is one more way Drew’s spirit continues to make a difference.
