The Josh Gibson Foundation

Grave Marker

The Josh Gibson aims to provide access to sports and facilities for underprivileged children, while also sustaining Josh’s memory. The organization has established the “Negro Leagues Memorial Markers: A Josh Gibson Foundation Initiative” as a way of honoring the past to inspire the future. This initiative is designed to raise money to place gravestones at the burial plots of at least eighteen Pittsburgh-area Negro League players. MarketSpace designed a website, the grave markers, and additional markers with information about each player.
