Now at Bat 2024

The annual RBI Austin Benefit, Now at Bat,  was held on Friday, January 26, 2024 at Fairmont Austin.

This event was one to remember as Austin’s MLB community and other special guests came together to raise $1,005,695 in support of RBI Austin’s 1,483 kids!

KVUE’s Sports Director + Anchor Jeff Jones served as emcee for the evening with baseball legend and World Series Champion, Mark Teixeira, as the featured speaker.
