As a division of Cancer Services, a local United Way agency, it is located on the campus of MidMichigan Medical Center-Midland. We employ a full-time licensed professional Social Worker to coordinate a team of volunteer mentors and develop programs to help people caring for their loved one with cancer.
The Michigan Baseball Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation and public charity, which was formed in 2006 to generate regional economic development through creative partnerships and grants and to enhance the efforts of regional organizations that serve young people.
