Tulsa Boys Home Testimonial Jerry Jacobson and the World Baseball Outreach program have been a tremendous and exciting gift to the boys of Tulsa Boys’ Home. Jerry’s passion and excitement about baseball has sparked a new campus wide enthusiasm for one of America’s favorite pastimes the likes I’ve never seen before. Not only does Jerry and the WBO volunteers bring high caliber instruction with personalized coaching for boys with respect to the skills related to the game of baseball, but they instill a newfound sense of self-confidence and self-esteem that carry over into all other aspects of the boys’ lives. When Jerry and the guys come in and set up shop, you’d think you were at the New York Yankees spring training camp! Truly an amazing and exciting initiative that can have a significant and lasting impact for hundreds of boys here at Tulsa Boys’ Home. We plan to have WBO clinics and training camps for a long, long time. Jerry and his WBO colleagues are awesome, positive role models for our boys. I’m proud to have them involved in the mission of Tulsa Boys’ Home. Gregg Conway Executive Director

Tulsa Dream Center Testimonial The Tulsa Dream Center Baseball clinic conducted by World Baseball Outreach was a huge success that touched many young lives. Approximately 33 boys and girls between the ages of 6-14 attended the one day event that provided instruction of baseball fundamental and sportsmanship off and on the field. Many of the participants never had an opportunity to play or participate in an organized baseball event, so the clinic was an introductory lesson to the game of baseball. The basic skills of baseball: catching, throwing, and hitting were explained in ways the children understood and we're able to execute as many of them walked away from the various skill stations with smiles on their faces. One of the most profound moments of the day was when a family of four children accompanied by their father was given baseball gloves and other equipment to take home. At the beginning of the clinic the father asked if there was a possibility of getting gloves for himself and children, in order for his children to continue to learn how baseball is played. He mentioned that his financial situation had never allowed him to purchase anything really extra for his family to enjoy. At the end of the clinic World Outreach Baseball offered baseball gloves and equipment to anyone who did not have, the facial expression followed by the gratitude words of the father made the clinic all the more purposeful. The World Baseball Outreach program went beyond expectations in providing a first-class baseball clinic to the Northern Tulsa community. A big thank you goes out to Jerry and his volunteer team for a great event! Dean Heath and Gary Brougher, Tulsa Dream Center
