HERITAGE FINANCIAL PARK, Wappingers Falls, NY

A celebration of courage, community, and tons of home runs to support our brave veterans and first responders.

Homers for Heroes is more than a baseball event. Hosted by Infantry Baseball and benefiting Folds of Honor, it’s a platform where athletes use their talents to give back, communities rally around service, and every swing helps create opportunities for America’s heroes and their families.

Playing it Forward, for a Great Cause.

All homers will benefit the men and women who serve our country through the Folds of Honor program.

This exciting event gives young athletes the chance to showcase their skills, cheer on their teammates, and experience the thrill of watching the ball leave the yard.
