The 60 Feet 6 Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established by Major League Baseball pitcher Derek Holland in 2015. The foundation’s direction has been shaped by Holland’s on and off the field experiences, which have had a profound effect on his commitment to helping others.
Named for the distance between the pitcher’s mound and home plate, the 60 feet 6 Foundation serves as a platform for Derek to lend his time, help grow awareness and offer direct financial support to charities dedicated to advancing the research and care for debilitating pediatric diseases, military veterans and their families, as well as organizations that focus on enhancing the well-being of the local community.
