Sandlot Sloths has teamed up with Major League Baseball’s Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities (RBI) Youth Program to launch its NFT collection of 5,944 hand-drawn sloths. Each sloth serves as a membership card to the Sandlot Sloths community; a collective of baseball fans who share their love of the sport through IRL experiences and merchandise, while supporting underserved communities through their charity partner.
The Sandlot Sloths NFT collection was created with both native and non-native NFT enthusiasts in mind. By owning a Sandlot Sloths token, not only do holders gain access to an entire community of baseball fans, but they are also eligible to receive a number of benefits associated with owning a token, including:
- Annual IRL matches and tickets to MLB games
- Free goods
- ETH (cryptocurrency) airdrop
- Exclusive giveaways
- Automatic access list for future cases
- A vote on how charitable funds are distributed
“After working in Minor League Baseball for several years, my passion for baseball has only continued to grow,” said founder Jonathan Levey. “Our goal is to build a community of baseball fans who share a passion for America’s Pastime, while supporting young people from underserved communities with the opportunity to play. Sandlot Sloths is how we aim to achieve this.”
Those who join the presale access list have the opportunity to mint a Sandlot Sloths NFT early at a discounted price of 0.042 ETH on October 27th. Otherwise, the public coin will begin on October 28th and will be available for 0.06 ETH.
To get on the access list, join the Sandlot Sloths Discord and type “!homerun” in the general channel. This will ensure a discounted price and early access to the coin.
Sandlot Sloth’s commitment to charity:
The Sandlot Sloths partnered with Major League Baseball’s youth program – Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities (RBI) – to provide access to baseball and softball league games for underserved communities across the country. For every Sandlot Sloths NFT purchased, 20% of all initial sales will be donated to RBI to ensure that every child has the opportunity to play in a wide range of organizations affiliated with the program.
Furthermore, 2% of all secondary sales from the Sandlot Sloths collection will be donated to RBI on a monthly basis. Holders of Sandlot Sloth’s NFTs are given fractional voting rights to decide how the funds are distributed and used by the program.
“On behalf of Major League Baseball, I want to thank Jonathan Levey and his Sandlot Sloths NFT for their support of the RBI program,” said David James, vice president of Baseball & Softball Development, MLB. “The RBI program continues to provide opportunities to underserved children and communities, and your generosity will certainly aid our efforts to strengthen the program around the world.”
