MEMBER NEWS: MLB invests in Physicians for Peace Haiti work

InterAction member Physicians for Peace, which has a history of collaborative partnerships in Haiti, has just gotten a boost from the Major League Baseball Players Trust, a charitable foundation of the Major League Baseball Association.

The organization has awarded Physicians for Peace $50,000 to help Haitian support for amputees and provide distance-learning opportunities for their technicians. The grant will also promote information-sharing and best practices across both Haiti and the Dominican Republic.

“The effects of the earthquake are still being felt by thousands of Haitians, and we hope this grant helps remind people that our Caribbean neighbors are still in need of our ongoing support,” Curtis Granderson, MLBPA Association Representative and N.Y. Yankees outfielder, said of the grant.
