  • Help Us Build Strength Using Water

    Funded Jan 31, 2025

    On behalf of the entire baseball team, I want to express our sincere gratitude for your generous contribution that made the acquisition of the tidal tank training system possible. This innovative piece of equipment has already made a significant impact on our training regimen. We've been utilizing the dynamic resistance of the shifting water to build incredible core strength, enhance our balance, and improve our overall athleticism. The benefits are tangible on the field, and we are already seeing improvements in our performance thanks to your thoughtful investment in our team's development.

    We are truly appreciative of your belief in our program and your commitment to providing us with the tools necessary to succeed. The tidal tank has become an integral part of our training, pushing us to new levels and contributing to a stronger and more well-rounded team. Your support means the world to us, and we are dedicated to making the most of this incredible opportunity. Thank you again for your invaluable contribution to our baseball program.”

  • Let's Make a Home Run: Fund Our Team's Uniforms

    Funded Dec 3, 2024

    Thanks to the generous donations, our blank baseball jerseys have been completely transformed. We've turned them into our official team uniforms. This season, every player steps onto the field with a sense of pride, wearing a jersey they helped personalize.

    There was a huge wave of gratitude. They understood that these jerseys were made possible by people who believed in them, and it was a very powerful moment. Our next step is to use these jerseys during our first game of the season. We will make sure to capture as many photos as possible in order to share them with you.”

  • Financial Literacy Snack Fundraiser: Fueling Our Future

    Funded Dec 3, 2024

    I hope this letter finds you well. I'm writing to express our deepest gratitude for your incredible generosity in donating snacks to the Graphics Baseball Team. Your support has made a tremendous impact on our players, both on and off the field, and we couldn't be more thankful.

    With your donation, we were able to set up a snack stand during our games and events, selling treats to raise funds for the team. But this effort was about so much more than just raising money—it was an opportunity to teach our players valuable lessons in financial literacy. Through this initiative, they learned about budgeting, profit margins, teamwork, and the importance of hard work. These are skills that will stay with them long after the season ends, and it's all thanks to your kindness.

    The funds we raised have gone directly toward equipment, uniforms, and travel expenses, ensuring that every player has the resources they need to succeed. But beyond the financial impact, your donation has shown our team the power of community support. It's a reminder that when people come together, incredible things can happen.

    On behalf of the entire Graphics Baseball Team, thank you for believing in us and for helping us grow not just as athletes, but as responsible, hardworking individuals. Your generosity has made a lasting difference, and we are so grateful to have you as part of our team's story.”

    Your commitment to our team echoes louder than words. It speaks volumes about your belief in the power of sports to transform lives and open doors to brighter futures.

  • Hit, Pitch, Field at GC

    Funded Apr 18, 2022

    First off,I would like to thank you for the donations. Everything we received has really gone a long way to impacting our program. Thanks to you we were able to make the playoffs last season and are looking forward to making them again this season.

    The L-screen we received helped us get a lot of work done in the cage. We were able to run different drills that otherwise we wouldn't be able to run and we really saw improvement in our hitting.

    Our players loved the Tanner Tees. The tees were so durable and portable that we were able to take them to the field with us to run drills. Our players were able to work on different situational skills to help their performance.

    Again, can't thank you enough for your generosity.”

  • Help Us Build Some Muscle

    Funded Oct 22, 2019

    Christmas and Spring training came early for our boys this year all thanks to you. We have been looking for ways to up our training and get better during the offseason and this donation has totally pushed us forward. Since the weights are adjustable we are able to get more done is less time while maximizing our workouts.

    Before the Bowflex weights we did not have access to a wide range out dumbbells which made it difficult to work on different body parts and introduce new exercises. Now, our pitchers can work on their pitching shoulders and progress with heavier weights as the training goes along. We can quickly go from working on our arms with medium weights to working on our legs with a set of heavier weights all with the turn of a dial thanks to you guys.

    Again, muchisimas gracias from all our boys here at the Graphics Campus baseball program. We can't wait to get out there and give it all we got for you guys.”

  • Go To "Bat" For Us

    Funded Jul 1, 2019

    What a wonderful honor. You don't understand how much this means to our baseball program and our students. These are some bats that we have been trying to get for some time now and thanks to you and your generosity we finally have them. My students/players are super excited and pumped to start taking the field and take these bats for a test drive. When you have the right tools for the job you feel prepared and have the confidence to accomplish anything you set your mind to, these bats have just done that and more for our players.

    Again, thank you su much for this wonderful opportunity. Can't wait to share more pictures and stories from in-season play.”

Our students come from all parts of the city. They come from a variety of different economic backgrounds with over 85% of our students receive free lunch. The budget for simple things, to be able to play a sport, such as athletic gear, uniforms, balls, bats gloves etc., needs to be divided between 10 other teams in the building which makes it difficult to get the necessities needed every single year. Currently, we are in need of new uniforms for the start of our season. It is mandatory that all our students are geared with matching uniforms in order to be eligible to play during the season. With your help, we will be able to get our season underway.
