The Donald Harris Baseball Foundation is a 501(C)(3) Non-profit created by former Texas Ranger Donald Harris to promote opportunities for student athletes to become successful in life through discipline and teamwork. The foundation provides opportunities for kids and teen athletes to receive individual or personal one on one and group baseball/softball lessons (hitting, pitching, catching) taught by former Major League Baseball player Donald Harris. The foundation also offers grants for those who are not as fortunate to attend training sessions to help hone their skills to become better athletes.

The foundation, formerly located in Waco, Texas, has now relocated to the San Antonio, Texas area. Donald Harris participates in the community by attending and participating in various camps and appearances, where he serves as a motivational speaker and mentor to youth. He also personally provides one on one and group training sessions for student athletes.

I started a baseball foundation to encourage youth to live a positive healthy lifestyle through baseball and athletic interaction throughout the city. As a former Texas Tech Red Raider football player, I was able to enjoy the many challenges that came along with being a student-athlete. The most challenging obstacle was being a father and husband before stepping on the football field. As we educate our youth today, they must remember that life is a game within itself, and nothing is more important than family.
