Zilla Foundation Information

Founded by two-time Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell, an active Major League Baseball player for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Zilla Foundation creates meaningful opportunities for youth through baseball, mentorship, and developmental programming. Blake's journey was shaped by coaches, mentors, family members, and others who believed in him, pushed him, and helped him grow both as a player and as a person. Established in 2024, Zilla Foundation was created to pay that forward, opening doors for the next generation and giving young people the chance to grow on the field, off the field, and within their communities. Our mission is to foster athletic growth, personal character, and community connection. Through baseball and mentorship, we help young people build confidence, discipline, leadership, and resilience that carry well beyond the game. We envision a future where young athletes from all backgrounds have access to the mentorship, support, opportunities, and developmental experiences they need to reach their full potential. With roots in the Pacific Northwest and a growing vision for impact in Los Angeles and beyond, the Foundation is built to invest in the next generation and open doors for youth on and off the field. Every kid deserves someone who believes in them. Zilla Foundation exists to be that force for the next generation.
