UMPS CARE Charities was established by Major League Baseball (MLB) Umpires to provide financial, in-kind and emotional support for America’s youth and families in need. Through our youth-based programs, professional baseball umpires enrich the lives of at-risk youth and children coping with serious illness by providing memorable baseball experiences, supporting pediatric medical care, and raising awareness for foster care children waiting to be adopted.
The UMPS CARE Charities Online Auction helps to provide:
- Build-A-Bear Workshop experiences for children with cancer
- Major League Baseball experiences for children awaiting adoption
- College scholarships for deserving young adults
The online auction has all types of items to bid on.
Unique Experiences
Throw out the first pitch at Wrigley Field, watch Josh Hamilton take a few deep during batting practice from the field, or join an umpire for lunch and then go to the game later that night.
Signed Sports Items
