Help Blair & the TBolts pay for our new scoreboard

Tax deductible
Imagine sitting in the stands, eagerly watching a thrilling baseball game unfold. Suddenly, you hear the crack of a bat and see the ball soar through the air. As you hold your breath, you realize the game's outcome could hinge on a single swing. But without a functioning scoreboard, the excitement is muted. You're left guessing the score, the count, and the time left for your beloved Thunderbolts to secure another victory. We need your help to change that.

At the heart of every great community is a shared passion for something that brings people together. In Silver Spring – Takoma Park, that passion is baseball. The Blair Boosters and the Thunderbolts have come together, united by our love for the game, to ensure that Blair Stadium becomes a haven for thrilling baseball moments and unforgettable family memories. But to achieve this vision, we need your support.

The completed scoreboard, a vital piece of our baseball experience, comes with a price tag of $38,000. We are fortunate to have received a State of Maryland Grant of $12,700, bringing us closer to our goal. Additionally, the Blair Boosters have committed $13,500, and the Thunderbolts have pledged $11,800. To date, the Thunderbolts have contributed $6,500 from our operating funds. Now, we seek your generosity to raise the $11,800 required to fulfill our commitment to improving Blair Stadium.

Every game is more than just a battle on the field; it's an opportunity for families to come together, friends to cheer side by side, and communities to unite around their shared love for baseball. With a new scoreboard, we can create a seamless experience that keeps everyone engaged and amplifies the joy of each Thunderbolts victory. Your donation will bring 'Big League Dreams and Small-Town Charm' to life, ensuring that future generations can make lasting memories and forge lifelong bonds.

Join us in transforming Blair Stadium into a beacon of excitement and community spirit. Your donation, no matter the size, will help us achieve our goal. Simply use our GoFundMe ‘Donate now button’ to contribute. Together, we can provide our Thunderbolts with the scoreboard they deserve and create a legacy of baseball excellence in our community. Thank you for your generous support in advance.
