Baseball 4 Causes generously provides Home Runs for the Homeless with an iPad and a custom event scoring application to record scores, manage player and team data, track tournament progress, and support day-of-event operations. The technology allows volunteers to enter results instantly, reducing errors, eliminating manual calculations, and keeping the tournament running smoothly the entire day. 

For years, tournament scores were tracked manually using paper score sheets before being totaled by hand. While effective, the process required additional time between teams and made it difficult to track special award categories throughout the day.

To modernize the experience, DICORP developed a custom scorekeeping platform built with Anvilor, a low-code technology developed to simplify complex workflows. Scorekeepers entered each swing on an iPad while the application automatically calculated scores, applied tournament rules, and updated standings in real time.

The new system also introduced live leaderboards, allowing participants and spectators to follow the competition throughout the day. By reducing manual calculations, the platform shortened scoring time enough to schedule teams every 20 minutes instead of 30, increasing tournament capacity by approximately 50% and creating even greater fundraising potential for Harford Family House.

The iPad app feeds data from every swing directly into a central database, allowing scores and player statistics to be processed instantly throughout the tournament. This information powers a real-time leaderboard that updates continuously, giving players, spectators, volunteers, and supporters the ability to follow the action as it happens. Teams can track their standings, monitor friendly competition, and celebrate big moments as they unfold, while sponsors and community members stay engaged with the event from anywhere. At the conclusion of the tournament, the finalized leaderboard serves as the official record of results, recognizing top performers, highlighting team achievements, and preserving the accomplishments of the day.

Baseball 4 Causes helps expand the reach and impact of Home Runs for the Homeless by promoting the event before, during, and after tournament day. Through engaging digital content, social media,  interviews, and community storytelling, we help showcase the people and organizations that make the event possible. Following the tournament, our team develops a comprehensive recap landing page that captures the day's highlights, celebrates award winners, shares event statistics, and preserves memorable moments through photos and participant stories. By creating a lasting digital record of the tournament, we not only recognize the incredible efforts of volunteers, sponsors, players, and donors, but also raise awareness of Harford Family House's mission, inspire future participation, and encourage continued community support. Every story shared helps amplify the impact of the event, ensuring that its message reaches far beyond the baseball field and continues to make a difference throughout the year.

B4C doesn’t just provide technology and support for the tournament—we also get in on the action! Each year, Baseball 4 Causes and Dicorp, an affiliate of B4C, sponsor teams to participate in Home Runs for the Homeless.

This year, B4C sponsored the JHU Bomb Squad, a team made up of current and former Johns Hopkins University baseball players. Team Dicorp and the JHU Bomb Squad are pictured here.

And this year, the JHU Bomb Squad took home the title as the 2026 Home Runs for the Homeless CHAMPIONS!

Baseball 4 Causes is the baseball philanthropy division of Technology 4 Causes, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing technology and support services to other non-profits to expand their impact.  We also put on specialty baseball events, run leagues & tournaments, and operate our own programs for education and to help those in need.

We are always looking to expand the causes we support in our baseball community.  Tell us about other non-profits or baseball-related groups that we could help support!

Baseball 4 Causes has initiatives to benefit many different groups, and dozens more to come! So your donations help us be on several positive fronts at once to make the most impact.

Our ultimate goal is to help impact millions of youth and 1000's of organizations by running 100's of programs throughout local communities across the nation. We seek to make a difference through the great game of baseball and the tens of thousands of kind and generous players who come together in fellowship as they continue to play the game throughout their lives and look to give back to others in need.

To accelerate and launch our grand vision, B4C is aligned with a youth mentoring program within our parent organization to give transformative opportunities to young writers to use their talents to help make a positive impact while learning valuable communication skills.  Current projects include establishing web sites and actionable forms for all of our planned B4C events, as well as upcoming hands on resource initiatives including Gear 4 Kids (to assist inner city coaches), Shocks 4 Jocks (our AED Awareness & AED Location Directory initiative), and more!
