Swing With the Loons is a major fundraising event benefiting the Michigan Baseball Foundation. The goal of the tournament is to raise additional funds to support the mission of MBF.

Since its founding in 2006, the Michigan Baseball Foundation has awarded $721,014 in grants to charitable organizations that serve young people throughout the Great Lakes Bay Region. To continue its economic and charitable impact and to meet its obligations as a public charity, MBF must raise annual funds from public support. This support will facilitate the long-term maintenance and improvement of Dow Diamond and allow MBF to continue to make positive impacts in the region. Swing With the Loons continues to be MBF's biggest annual fundraiser.

The Michigan Baseball Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation and public charity, which was formed in 2006 to generate regional economic development through creative partnerships and grants and to enhance the efforts of regional organizations that serve young people. The Michigan Baseball Foundation owns and operates Dow Diamond, home of the Great Lakes Loons, the seventh-year Single-A partner of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
