ACTEC Foundation President Lora G. Davis is pleased to introduce the lineup for this year’s spring fundraiser—The 2026 ACTEC Foundation Home Run Derby! The champion will round the bases to claim the coveted “ACTEC Pennant!” Every dollar you donate during the Derby drives your favorite slugger’s ball toward the fence.
- Every Dollar donated drives the ball one foot.
- A ball that travels 400 feet is a Home Run.
- The slugger with the most home runs wins the pennant!
The Home Run Derby will take place over four weeks, with one round per week. A weekly winner will be announced (the player who hits the most home runs), and the overall Derby winner will be named at the end (the player who hits the most home runs at the end of the four weeks).
The Home Run Derby wraps up at 11:59 p.m. ET on Thursday, May 7, with the winner announced in the Friday, May 8, ACTEC Weekly Update.
This year’s lineup features ACTEC Fellows representing each of Major League Baseball’s 6 divisions, each stepping up to the plate to help support The Foundation.
The Derby aims to raise $40,000 to support the important trust and estate programs made possible by The ACTEC Foundation. Help your slugger knock it out of the park—and meet their goal!
