Following Henry AaronĄ¯s passing in 2021, the Atlanta Braves, Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association created the Henry Louis Aaron Fund to support HankĄ¯s life-long passions:
- Expanding equity and access in youth baseball/softball through initiatives that remove barriers and draw kids from underrepresented communities into the game
- Increasing access and opportunity for diverse representation in baseballĄ¯s front offices
The HLAF operates under the umbrella of the Atlanta Braves Foundation, which provides development, programming and operational support for the initiatives of the HLAF.
