Dear Peter:

With the holiday season upon us and another year coming to a close, we want to thank you for your continuing support of SABR. Donations from members like you are vital as SABR looks to expand our research resources, forge meaningful partnerships inside and outside the game, and create more opportunities for participation in our baseball community.

Thanks to the generosity of the Gillette family, you have the opportunity to DOUBLE the impact of your donation on Giving Tuesday next week on December 2. 

Gary and Vicki Gillette have stepped forward with a generous gift to support SABR and the Jerry Malloy Negro League Conference through 2030. Gary is a longtime SABR member, Henry Chadwick Award recipient, former Director, and prolific author specializing in the Negro Leagues.

In conjunction with their contribution, all donations made on Giving Tuesday, December 2, will be MATCHED up to a grand total of $5,000.

“I joined SABR in 1983. In my four decades as a member, this is the healthiest I have ever seen the organization. Most importantly, SABR delivers great value to members and substantial support to researchers.

“The future is bright, and I hope you agree that SABR is doing a great job and deserves your support. Please be as generous as you can.”

— Gary Gillette

You can support SABR’s Bring it Home Campaign by making a gift of $150 or more by December 31, 2025. We will use your best gift of $150, $300, $500, or $1,000 to amplify SABR’s general operations.

Plus, all donors joining the Bring it Home Campaign with a gift of $150 or more will receive a choice of paperback copy of the forthcoming SABR book on Henry Aaron. Donors supporting SABR with a gift of $300 or more will also receive an invite to “An Evening with John Thorn”, an exclusive virtual event just for SABR’s top donors, featuring a Q&A session with MLB’s Official Historian. Those who give $500 or more will receive an exclusive poster print of a Baseball Research Journal cover of your choice, featuring the artwork of talented SABR member Gary Cieradkowski, in addition to the previously mentioned items. All Bring it Home donors will receive recognition in This Week in SABRand on SABR.org. 

And remember, your gift will go twice as far on December 2 — as all donations made on Giving Tuesday will be matched, up to a grand total of $5,000.
