Angels in the Outfield (AITO) is a baseball-themed, family-friendly peer-to-peer fundraising campaign where families celebrate their angel(s) and unite to raise funds to support the mission of No Foot Too Small.
Families form teams in honor of their angel(s), share their story with loved ones, and work together to raise donations–competing for fun prizes and exclusive rewards along the way! Here's how it works: team captains register for free, share a personalized fundraising link provided by NFTS, and invite others to support their team by donating, buying custom team shirts or purchasing tickets to join us on May 4 for “Game Day”–a day where all teams, along with their friends and families, celebrate a home-run fundraising campaign together at the ballpark to watch the Cedar Rapids Kernels, Des Moines Cubs or to celebrate virtually from anywhere with our “homestyle” celebration boxes.
Key dates to put on your calendar include:
- February 2: Team registration opens
- February 18: Team registration closes & last day to register for custom team shirts!
- February 24: Custom shirt and jersey orders open
- March 23: Custom shirt orders close
- April 10: Last day to order a homestyle celebration box
- April 23: Ticket sales end for Minor League baseball game events in Cedar Rapids & Des Moines
- May 4: Game Day in-person events in Cedar Rapids & Des Moines. Fundraising challenge ends at 11:59PM!
