IT’S A FUNDRAISER!
HP Giants Travel Baseball Swag is designed and produced by parents of players. We are volunteers helping generate revenue for the HP Giants Cooperstown Fund, managed by the Parks Foundation of Highland Park. The annual goal is to use the proceeds to send that 12U team to the Cooperstown tournament in New York. This is a new venture as of 2024 and the 2025 12U team had an amazing time at the tournament this past summer. Swag sales and the Home Run Derby are the two main revenue generators for the Cooperstown Fund.
The Cooperstown Tournament is a capstone baseball experience specifically for the 12U year. It’s a week-long event where over 100 teams travel (YES, that’s over 100 teams EACH WEEK) travel from cities across America to meet, compete, stay in the dorms and trade pins with each other. HP teams stay at Cooperstown All Star Village, located near the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Attracting teams from across the United States and beyond, this event offers a unique and memorable experience for young baseball players and their families.
It’s an experience like no other and the cost for the team to enter, stay there and compete in 2026 is just over $22,000. This does not include travel, food and lodging for families, trading pins and other relevant items.
The money raised goes only toward the player fees and it’s a full program effort. When your child reaches 12U, the Giants community will rally behind them too!
Thank you for checking in. It’s time to shop! You can feel good about supporting an amazing experience. Plus, you’re getting sweet Giants gear made with love right here in Highland Park.
