Big League Impact’s MISSION 3:18 initiative empowers MLB players to give back during road series with one-day service opportunities that promote positive change in the communities they visit throughout the baseball season.

MISSION 3:18 supports our broader goal of helping pro athletes use their platforms for good and establish a legacy of service that transcends the baseball field. MISSION 3:18 started in 2023.

Here are a few stats from the program’s rookie season:

• 250+ hours served
• 125+ participating players from eight MLB teams (ARI, BAL, CHC, CIN, PHI, STL, TB, TEX)
• 20+ charity partners nationwide

Here are a few photos from our 2023 MISSION 3:18 service outings. For more photos from BLI and our charity partners, search #mission318 on social media.
