The 2023 Love the Moment collection expands the collaboration between Wilson and Autism Speaks. Since 2019, Wilson and Autism speaks have worked to create on-field products and promote a message of inclusion, acceptance and understanding for people on the autism spectrum. Wilson Sporting Goods is proud to support Autism Speaks and will donate 10 percent of the purchase price of all Love the Moment products to Autism Speaks, with a minimum donation of $150,000 each year.

“With Wilson’s continued support, we remain determined to do the most good for the most people with autism by addressing the diverse needs of the community, increasing understanding of their strengths and challenges, and fostering kindness around the world,” said Keith Wargo, Autism Speaks President and Chief Executive Officer.

“Since our partnership began in 2019, we have received tremendous support from thousands of ballplayers for this collaboration,” said Michael Markovich, Global Commercial Director of Wilson Baseball and Softball. “In order to generate even more funds for Autism Speaks’ mission of increasing inclusion, awareness and research, we are expanding our offerings to include more Wilson A2000s.”
