A new campaign is starting today that will help kids in Grand Rapids play baseball and softball, and will give donors a chance to see the West Michigan Whitecaps.

The organizers of the Give A Glove Campaign will be holding a news conference Tuesday afternoon at Fifth Third Ballpark to outline the program.

You can donate a piece of new or gently used youth-sized baseball or softball equipment at any Fifth Third Bank branch, at Fifth Third Ballpark, or at any YMCA of Greater Grand Rapids location.

Every person who donates will receive four tickets to a 2014 West Michigan Whitecaps' home game, a coupon for a free combo meal at Wendy's, and one free guest pass to the YMCA of Greater Grand Rapids.

The Give A Glove Campaign will run through June 6, and benefits the YMCA's Inner City Youth Baseball/Softball program.
