Description

We are a Non-Profit (501c3) Charitable Youth Sports Organization that was started in August of 2018.

I’m writing to you because we rely on the support of businesses like yours to help give every youth the chance to play the sport that they love. Sports teach our kids about the value of teamwork, dedication, and discipline while helping them build character, confidence, and friendships that will last a lifetime. We are gearing up to have a raffle and online auction. 

We seek to enhance our youths knowledge of softball and better their skills. Our program is focused on female youth from ages 12 to 14 years of age. We seek to have them become positive role models in their school and community. We focus on the youth being healthy throughout our season as well. We support our community by participating in fundraisers for local organizations, serving food at dinners for needy and other functions such as food and or clothing drives.

Our players are from many communities throughout Central PA. Our youth come from Montour County, Union County, Columbia County, Luzerne County and Snyder County.

This is our first season of having a 14U division. We want to continue the next generation of softball players to help them achieve as much success and growth as possible both on the field and off. Several are new to softball and most only have a year or two of experience of travel softball.

For our upcoming season, we need your help! We rely on donations, grants and fundraising to support our youth. We charge minimal fees so that all youth have the opportunity to participate regardless of their financial situation. Our yearly expenses to provide this program mount up. Our costs include uniforms, insurance, equipment, fees for tournament entry and more.

You can help us continue to provide our youth with these opportunities by providing a donation for our upcoming raffle and online auction. The parents and athletes at our organization love to support the businesses that support them. This donation will give you a direct connection to our parents, athletes, and fans.

When our community works together, we win together!

 

Thank you for your time and your consideration.
