About Us
Our founder, Eddie Bath played basketball in high school. His team played wearing worn out uniforms and shoes, until one person donated all new uniforms, shoes and even warm-ups. Eddie always remembered how it lifted morale and made the team feel amazing.
He still remembers getting a jersey or pulling a rookie card of his favorite player. He remembers knowing he could run faster with new cleats or hit a home run with that new bat. He started Jerseys for Juniors to bring that same feeling to more underserved communities.
