About the Cuba Goodwill Tour
The Canada–Cuba Goodwill Tour began in 2016 when a connection on the softball field sparked an unforgettable international exchange. Since then, players from BC and Washington have traveled to Cuba to share the game they love—playing games, running clinics, and donating over 2,000 lbs of equipment, school supplies, and clothing to local communities.
Beyond the field, friendships and memories have flourished through shared experiences, laughter, and culture.
Our next tour is planned for February 2026, open to U13–U19 players (experienced U11s welcome) and their families.
We’ll be heading to Varadero, to play games, visit a local school, and connect with the community where Geidy, a member of the Cuban National Team, grew up and learned to play.
Your collaboration truly makes a difference, and we appreciate your support and consideration. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!
How to Support the Goodwill Tour
Used Equipment
We’re are collecting gently used softball equipment, uniforms, and gear to donate during our trip. Every glove, bat, and ball helps support local players and grow the game in Cuba.
Financial Support
Financial contributions are also appreciated to offset luggage fees and community gifts. Every bit helps us deliver more supplies and make a bigger impact in Cuba.
