      <image:title>Donation Thank You - EXPERIENCED LEADERSHIP</image:title>
      <image:caption>The six member board of The Black Play-by-Play Broadcaster Grant &amp; Scholarship Fund brings decades of broadcast experience to the table. The two Black play-by-play voices in MLB, Dave Sims (Seattle Mariners) and Robert Ford (Houston Astros) have carved a path for the current generation of aspiring Black broadcasters, and have been committed to lifting these voices for years. In addition to these two important voices in today’s broadcast landscape, the Board of Directors is a diverse group with eclectic broadcasting backgrounds. They bring the combined experience of having called thousands of professional baseball games and sports at the Division-I level on regional and national television — and they’re ready to use that experience to help young broadcasters.</image:caption>
