Former Colorado Rockies baseball pitcher Kevin Ritz and his wife, Sally, say sharing their resources is about supporting what has been most important to them, including community services, increased recreational opportunities for young people and an enhanced quality of life for families and children in the area where they live.
Kevin says Little League and Babe Ruth baseball were instrumental in shaping who he is today. They provided important growth opportunities, and he wants to ensure the same for youth in the area where he, Sally and their children now call home.
Establishing the Kevin Ritz Family Foundation at FAO has helped Kevin and Sally meet this goal. Through working with FAO, the Ritzes were able to focus on their donations while FAO handled the administrative and investment responsibilities of their fund. The Foundation holds an annual golf outing to support “The Challenger League,” which is a baseball league for youth with disabilities. The Foundation also sponsors the Guernsey County dental lab.
