One In a Million

It’s a movement where EVERY BUCK COUNTS. Be one in a million to donate at least one Buck to support the future of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum…the House that Buck Built! The campaign runs through November 13 (Buck’s 111th Birthday).

Can we count on you?

Every Buck Counts

Buck O’Neil selflessly dedicated his life to teaching us about the heroes of the Negro Leagues and demonstrating to the world that you could get further in life with love than you could with hate.

Now, it’s our collective opportunity to say, “thank you,” to this legendary man. Join the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum (NLBM) as we celebrate baseball’s greatest ambassador’s long overdue induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame by supporting, our “THANKS A MILLION, BUCK” campaign. 

THE GOAL: Raise at least $1 million between now and November 13 by fans donating a Buck (or more) in support of the NLBM and the completion of the Buck O’Neil Education and Research Center at the site of the Paseo YMCA where the Negro Leagues we’re established in 1920 by Andrew “Rube” Foster.

Growing up in Kansas City, I was fortunate as a kid to witness Buck’s greatness. To see his dream of a NLBM come to life now and what it will become for generations is outstanding. Consider donating to the #ThanksAMillionBuck campaign in support of Buck’s house. @nlbmprez
