Partners of the project

We are privileged that Bob Hellman and the Build Our Ballpark organization has chosen to be our project facility mentor! 

​

Build Our Ballpark's mission is to improve the lives of underprivileged kids in largely low-income neighborhoods by providing the opportunity to play baseball and softball, which through teamwork, strengthens character, builds pride and teaches skills for life.

​

Kids build critical life skills.  Ballparks are places where kids learn how to interact with others, to listen, to work together and support each other, and how what they do is going to affect the people around them – lessons they’ll use in everyday life.

 

Neighborhoods build pride.  Building ballparks brings people together and provides a recognizable landmark for a neighborhood. Poor ballparks give neighborhoods a negative impression.

​

 "Build Our Ballpark has built or restored 59 playing fields in 14 communities and 3 states. In the 15 years we’ve been at it….loved every minute of it."
