Groundbreaking campaign uses the power of personal networks to “connect for good” and benefit hundreds of charities worldwide

(Columbia, MD February 22, 2012) – On February 22, 2012, Baseball Factory & Team One Foundation will participate in a revolutionary eight-day global giving campaign spanning more than 60 countries around the world. “Everyone Gives” promises to be the most extensive and inclusive global giving event ever attempted, benefitting more than 200 non-profits around the globe.

“This is an easy way for our supporters to donate to the Baseball Factory & Team One Foundation and to tell their friends and family about why the Baseball Factory & Team One Foundation are important to them,” says Rob Naddelman, President of the Baseball Factory. Donating is simple and secure, and one hundred percent of all donations made through Everyone Gives go directly to the foundation.

Participants make a pledge, as little as $5, to The Baseball Factory & Team One Foundation through the Everyone Gives website at www.everyonegives.org and then tap into their social networks via email, Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook to invite friends, co-workers, clients and family to support Baseball Factory and Team One Foundation. “I think of it as a giving tree,” explains Doug Frye, President of Colliers International and a founding sponsor of Everyone Gives. “One donation becomes five, five becomes 25 and 25 can become hundreds. And you can track your giving tree and your friends’ giving trees on the Everyone Gives website.”

Although this revolutionary campaign is taking place over eight days beginning February 22, 2012, donations to The Baseball Factory and Team One Foundation through the Everyone Gives website can be made year-round. If at any time after March 1, 2012 you would like to make a pledge, please visit the website at www.everyonegives.org.

Everyone Gives grew from a seed planted by the leaders at Colliers International, one of the world’s largest commercial real estate firms. The idea germinated and grew through collaboration with other like-minded organizations, seeking to create sustainable good. Joining Colliers International and Baseball Factory & Team One Foundation together with hundreds of charities around the world.
