• Smashing the Cover off the Ball

  Funded Aug 17, 2022

  The addition of the new baseball bats has allowed me to truly enhance our teams effort in hitting and skills. We will become a better team who will have a fun season with much success. I can only imagine the joy my players will have swinging these bats and becoming better 5 tool athletes on the field which will drive them to strive to be a better all around human and student. The goal of using these items will be to enhance their love of the game, the skills they need to compete at the next level and let them continue to grow as young men.”

• Volleyball RedHawks in Kneed of Some Pads

  Funded Sep 20, 2017

  The addition of the knee pads will allow the girls to have nicer equipment to play and show pride in the program, they work really hard and had the best season ever at our school. We know have practice and game knee pads so we can use them and save them for longer. It is a great asset to the building of the program and allows us to become stronger, faster and help the girls do their best. We look forward to the student athletes growing into some great player.

  The girls love the knee pads and their addition excited them. For some of the girls seeing that people cared about them and their sport gave them great pride and excitement. When moving forward with the team this will allow the girls to work harder without fear of hurting themselves.”

• Hit a Homerun with Bulldogs Baseball and Softball. Programs

  Funded Aug 21, 2016

  Thank you for your selflessness. The bulldogs and I appreciate your support and look forward to putting this new equipment to use. We are excited about the opportunists that this will afford us and the growth the players will have by using it. We hope to see all of you at a couple of our games this year. We will be putting the batting cage to great use, I will be a stalwart in our training regiment for as long as I am the coach here. I can already see the students excitement building from the moment that I told them we were going after this to the moment they were informed it was funded. They are itching at the bit to put this great tool into practice and see the results in the game. Not only will this help the players physically but it has created a great deal of excitement about the program as we get ready for our second year of my stint here. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for blessing us with this gift.”

• Bringing the Lumber

  Funded Nov 11, 2016

  By being able to use these bats, we are able to work on our swing and arm strength. We as a program continue to grow and build with every opportunity. The addition of training aids will help the boys grow into their potential. We love being able to push the boys to grow into their potential. We look forward to getting the bats going and hitting in the cage with them once it warms back up. I look forward to seeing the boys enjoying these bats and hitting harder, farther and more often. Thank you for your help with this.”

• Baseball Equipment Storage and Carrying Items

  Funded May 27, 2016

  The new bags give me the opportunity to properly store and carry all of our equipment. It saves a lot of chaos and will increase our productivity. While it is currently our off-season the addition of the bags will allow me to properly store our equipment and keep it in a lot better shape and allow us to utilize it a lot longer.

  I look forward to the ease of transporting our items to practice and games. It will allow us the opportunity to safely and effectively arrive at our locations and get ready to play.

  The boys are excited about not having to tote all the items individually or with bags that are falling apart. It will help us get practicing faster and more efficiently. It will allow us to grow as a baseball team and become the best we can be. Thank You.”

  Thank you for your support. These helmets will help the players be safer as they play. They will also allow them to have a sense of pride as they look nice in good equipment. We will wear these helmets with pride knowing that your generous support helped us get them. It is by the help of selfless individuals and businesses that rural communities can run a top notch program. We look forward to taking the field with our new items and moving forward with growth as baseball players and men.

• Middle School Baseball Hitting Equipment

  Funded Mar 28, 2016

  The addition of the new equipment has really helped the team grow. The bats have allowed our younger players to hit the ball more often and allows them to be successful. The addition of the training aid has helped their hitting ability and allowed for us to be more successful. Putting the bases down allows us to use our field and practice in real game situation. The addition of these items to the program helped me grow it and we have won 2 games this year which is an increase on last couple years success. I truly appreciate all the selflessness and help to growing these kids up to men and growing the program.”
