IABL and Playball Indiana Glove Drive
|
|
|
The Indianapolis Adult Baseball League has formed a new committee called the YES committee (Youth Empowerment through Sports) to help give back to the game we all love and play. The committee will identify organizations and events for our league members to volunteer for throughout the year. Most of the organizations and events we will be participating in will be related to baseball in some way. As we organize these events, we will be sending out requests for you, the IABL members, to volunteer a few of hours of your time.
I would like to announce our first event that will allow all league members to participate.
The Indianapolis Adult Baseball League has partnered with Playball Indiana www.playballindiana.org for the 2009 season.
Playball Indiana is an organization that manages youth baseball in Central Indiana through the RBI program of Major League Baseball.
After meeting with the Executive Director Mike Lennox we learned that Playball has a difficult time providing gloves for each kid in the program.
For the month of March we will be holding a glove drive. Our goal is to collect 100 used and new baseball and softball gloves for kids between the ages of 10 and 15. Any other equipment you wish to donate would be greatly appreciated. If you have old gloves, that are still usable, please donate them to the glove drive or have your team collect some money and buy a couple of new gloves for the glove drive.
You can donate gloves at the following baseball facilities where we have placed collection crates or give them to your managers. Extra Innings- Southside Trinity Ballpark- Northside Sand Lot Indy LLC- Eastside The SportsZone– Westside
Managers should contact Jason Shirrell to coordinate a pick up time for the gloves you have collected from your players at the end of March. Contact Jason if you have any questions. Thank you for your time and support.
