The Battle for the Real Big State Fundraising Baseball Game is a high-energy charity showdown between alumni from two powerhouse HBCUs — Norfolk State University and Virginia State University. More than just a game, this annual event is a celebration of school pride, community impact, youth development/education, and Black excellence in collegiate sports.
This year the game will be held at Shepherd Stadium, the event brings together fans, families, and former players for a day filled with exciting baseball, live entertainment, and meaningful fundraising. Proceeds from the event go toward scholarships, youth sports development programs, and initiatives that support historically Black colleges and universities.
With the support of local sponsors, community leaders, and sports enthusiasts, *Battle for the Real Big State* isn’t just about who takes home the trophy — it’s about uniting communities and creating opportunities through the spirit of competition. Whether you’re cheering from the stands or showing your school colors from home, this is your chance to be part of something bigger than the game.
