My Project

It's baseball season time again! Help us to our goal of acquiring some new equipment to help us on the field. We need to replace our old pitching machine balls and on-field ball cart for our pre-game batting practice. Plus, a brand new bat always comes in handy for our players to compete with the other programs in the area, who have access to numerous new gear each and every year. Rest assured that each item purchased will directly benefit every player in the program. Thank you again.
