Dallas, TX, May 20, 2020 --(PR.com)-- APBPA is a (501)(c)(3) charitable organization involved in

Ball™ and its Founder, Kevin Simmons. Our elder members are disproportionately affected by
COVID-19. We immediately established a COVID emergency fund for APBPA and we are grateful for
all the assistance we can get to help our members,” said Jennifer Madison, President of APBPA.

Kevin Simmons, Founder of The AutoGraph Ball™ said, “I learned to love the game of baseball in my
Grandfather’s backyard. He literally built a backstop with an infield and pitcher mound for us to play on.
During practice Papa would teach fundamentals, situations, share names of his childhood heroes, and
stories of their heroic feats on the diamond. He taught me to how to play and developed my deep
historical knowledge and love for the game.” Regarding their charitable relationship with APBPA,
Simmons stated, “I am over the moon excited about our relationship with APBPA. We look forward to
growing together and giving back to the players that gave us all so many fantastic childhood memories.”
