$128,450 spent. Fast Pitch Event - 11 7 2024 - Honoring Demarcus Ware and Charles Haley. Since 2015 the Dallas Influencers in Sports and Entertainment DISE has held an event called Fast Pitch where local DFW-area nonprofits pitch a panel of judges and the audience on why their organization deserves grant dollars to help them achieve their mission and goals with each walking away with a portion of $100,000 in grants. These organizations have always been focused on youth health education and sports. The event not only allows us to support these organizations with much-needed funding but also provides a spotlight and platform to recognize all the outstanding work that each nonprofit is doing right here in North Texas. DISE also presents the Heart of Dallas Award during Fast Pitch. This community excellence award recognizes a celebrity who has made a big impact through their foundation or a charity they support. Previous recipients include Dirk Nowitzki Jamie Benn Emmitt and Pat Smith Clayton Kershaw Troy Aikman DeMarcus Lawrence and Nancy Lieberman. Through Fast Pitch DISE has donated more than $1,000,000 to local nonprofits to date including grants to the nonprofits or foundations of local athletes.
