Strikeouts for TroopsTM, founded by Barry Zito, pitcher for the San Francisco Giants, is a national project to benefit our war wounded troops being treated at Walter Reed, Bethesda Naval, Brooke Army, Balboa Naval and other military hospitals nationwide.
Strikeouts For Troops has raised over one million dollars since it's launch in April 2005 from contributions made by over 60 professional baseball and football players, fundraising events, fan donations and corporate partnerships.
