The Breakthrough Series (BTS) provides a cost-free showcase for participants and is an instructional setting where some of the top prospects showcase their skills for scouts and college recruiters, all while receiving several industry insight seminars from current, former players and executives. The event serves many inner-city youth, but also focuses on showcasing the top African-American players in the country, dispelling the recent sentiment the game is dwindling within the demographic. Going forward, BTS has been expanded to include softball and girls baseball. The Softball Elite Development Invitational (EDI) is provided to approximately 90 high school softball players (18 and under) with diverse backgrounds, and is a one-week program geared toward providing elite training and instruction opportunities from former Olympians and members of the USA Softball National Team. Players are selected by a combination of the following groups: MLB Youth Academy network, Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities (RBI) program, Major League Baseball, and individual active and former players. 4120733 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true X 0 0 0 false false false false false false false false false false false false X 12 12 false false false false true true true true true false false false true true true false false false false false DE FL NY X DIANA BRAVERMAN 2129317800 245 PARK AVENUE NEW YORK NY 10167 X Leonor Colon Co-Chair/Co-President 2.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Chris Marinak Co-Chair/Co-President 2.0 40.0 X X 0 0 0 Jeff Fannell VP/assistant treasurer 1.0 40.0 X X 0 0 0 Tony Reagins VP/assistant secretary 2.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 xavier james Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Dave Winfield Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 john mchale Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Paul Mifsud vice president 1.0 40.0 X X 0 0 0 JEFFREY HAMMONDS VICE PRESIDENT 1.0 40.0 X X 0 0 0 KIM NG DIRECTOR 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 tony petitti director (until 01/25/2018) 1.0 40.0 X 0 0 0 dan halem Co-Chair/Co-President 2.0 40.0 X X 0 0 0 bo porter director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Kasey Sanossian assistant treasurer 1.0 40.0 X 0 0 0 DIANA BRAVERMAN TREASURER (beginning 9/30/18) 1.0 40.0 X 0 0 0 CHRISTOPHER BRUMM SECRETARY 1.0 40.0 X 0 0 0 julia gaffin assistant secretary 1.0 40.0 X 0 0 0 jean lee executive director 1.0 40.0 X 15625 0 0 robert j clark treasurer (until 9/30/2018) 1.0 40.0 X 0 0 0 15625 0 0 0 false false false Positive Coaching Alliance 1001 N Rengstorff Ave 100 MOUNTAIN VIEW CA 94043 coaching Services 254500 1 1033101 1033101 0 49967 49967 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 PLAYER FINES 900099 28050 28050 28050 1111118 28050 49967 3022078 3022078 0 0 0 15625 15625 0 0 0 0 1401 1401 0 24155 24155 30928 30928 0 0 0 229417 229417 0 0 0 0 0 517400 517400 0 0 0 0 0 0 PROFESSIONAL FEES 444075 444075 SUPPLIES 62485 62485 OFFICE AND FACILITIES 22256 22256 MISCELLANEOUS EXPENSE 36814 36814 4406634 4120733 285901 0 9666011 17122400 0 0 0 0 0 3614 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 10000000 134332 19666011 17260346 131000 1021765 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 914 0 131914 1021765 X 19534097 16238581 0 0 0 0 19534097 16238581 19666011 17260346 -3295516 X false true X true false X 27356281 0 1033101 28389382 0 0 27356281 0 1033101 28389382 21384087 7005295 0 0 0 5681 49967 55648 0 6600 51675 28050 86325 28531355 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1111118 1111118 1111118 4406634 4406634 4406634 true Chicago Baseball & Education Academy 1074 w taylor st chicago IL 60607 812369461 501(C)(3) 500000 To benefit disadvantaged children ages 8-18 providing an environment that is safe, educationally stimulating while playing baseball.
