I coach the Falcons; a high school baseball team made up of players who are the sons of those of us serving our country abroad. Though we are in Korea, we do have a number of parents currently on tour in southwest Asia. Our fundraising efforts are very much limited because of our location. Each year we are given two dozen new gameballs and that's about it. We must come up with our own uniforms, bats, MORE balls, training equipment, caps, etc.
I have always balked at asking our servicemember families to pay out of pocket for the things their kids need to field a respectable team. They have never complained, and never will, but they generally don't make a lot of money. This year I have decided to try and fundraise as much as I can to help save these families some money, and to give our boys the uniforms and equipment they deserve. Though I was reluctant to post here on the HSBBW, Julie MN-Mom has been enthusiastic in her support of doing just that
If you wish, you may donate directly through our "Chip-In". Just click this link.
ANY amount, however small, would be greatly appreciated. Your donation will help me buy some things which will make these players' faces light up if I can one day unveil new uniforms and gear. I will post photos!
We would also be interested in any used training equipment which is in good condition, but that you no longer need. Please PM with anything you might have. Thanks!
On behalf of the Falcons, I thank you for your consideration.
