Best of the Batch Foundation was founded by the Pittsburgh Steelers' back-up quarterback, Charlie Batch, and is based in Charlie's hometown of Homestead, PA.

Our Mission:
Our goal is to provide financially challenged, underpriviledged youth and their families with the purpose, desire, and resources to give their best efforts in all they do throughout their lives.

By developing after school programs, scholarships for students, restoring playgrounds, and offering sports and leisure activities, we show our committment to the success of all our youth and their families. The encouragement and involvement of the community stimulates that success.

Project C.H.U.C.K.
Project C.H.U.C.K is the largest Best of the Batch program. It's for boys and girls 7-18 years old. For 6 weeks, participants play a total of 20 basketball games, with the ultimate goal of advancing in the playoffs and to the championship game on Championship Day.

In addition to providing children with something to do, Project C.H.U.C.K. teaches them discipline, self-confidence, team orientation, and the fundamental skills of basketball, all while having a good time! learn more...
