BRUCE BOLT, a global leader of premium baseball and softball gear is pleased to announce today its partnership to support the nation’s largest autism research non-profit, Autism Speaks along with Mississippi’s largest non-profit provider of behavioral health, educational and social services, Canopy Children’s Solutions. As part of the initiative, BRUCE BOLT will contribute $1 to both non-profit organizations for every glove sold on www.brucebolt.us between April 1 through April 7 with the hopes of making a positive impact in the lives of children and families affected by autism. This initiative is part of BRUCE BOLT’s ongoing commitment to supporting families, mental health and social services. 

2022 World Series champion Aledmys Díaz and Gold Glove award winner Corey Dickerson will join the initiative as brand ambassadors, donning mismatched gloves at all games during the month of April to reinforce the importance of embracing differences.

Autism Speaks is a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to creating an inclusive world for all individuals with autism throughout their lifespan. Since its founding in 2005, Autism Speaks has become one of the largest autism advocacy organizations in the world, with a focus on increasing understanding and acceptance, funding research and providing resources for those affected by autism.

Canopy Children's Solutions provides a range of behavioral health, educational and social service solutions to children and families across Mississippi. Since 1912, the organization has developed into a leading provider of services for children and families in need. 

 “We are thrilled to partner with two amazing non-profits that make a real difference in people's lives," said BRUCE BOLT Founder & CEO, Bear Mayer. "We believe that our business has a large responsibility to give back to communities beyond sports, and we are proud to partner with our BRUCE BOLT Pros, Aledmys Diaz and Corey Dickerson, to do our part." 

“Canopy has been committed to creating solutions for children and their families for more than 110 years. It is such an honor for us to partner with Corey Dickerson and BRUCE BOLT to work to broaden the access to care for autism services in Mississippi where resources are so scarce,” said Dr. John Damon, Canopy Children’s Solutions CEO.

“Celebrating differences and the unique strengths of people with autism is essential to Autism Speaks’ mission of creating a more inclusive world. With the support of Bruce Bolt, we are fostering greater understanding, inclusion, and paving the way for all autistic individuals to reach their full potential,” said Kelli Seely, Chief Marketing Officer, Autism Speaks.
