R.I Youth Baseball Fundraiser

The 2023 R.I Little League Baseball Season is set to kick off! On April 8th, me and my co-director Arya Shirazi will commence our 6th year running this beloved community league. It has grown tremendously popular, and this year we have more registrants than our already thin budget can support. Because of this, we are short on funds for key equipment items and costs that we must be able provide. These include:

-Additional Uniforms not covered due to registration surplus

-Baseballs for each age group

-USAA Little League regulation bats

-Catchers/Umpires protective gear

-Team Equipment bags

-Tees

-Medical Supplies (First aid kits, icepacks, etc)

-Groundskeeping tools

-Trophies

-Ongoing season costs (damaged equipment, fill-in umpires, pizza parties, etc)

-Big picture improvements (Pitching machines, uniform upgrades, equipment upgrades, etc)

Along with these core items, there are many improvements and upgrades we would like to make. This program has been truly meaningful to the children and families of this community. Our league places deep emphasis on community and childhood development. Our network of dedicated volunteer coaches & parents are unbelievable! The teamwork, camaraderie and joy these kids experience playing baseball with their friends is unrivaled! It gives us great pride to watch it happen every Saturday.

Unfortunately, the league has simply outgrown the budget, and we have failed to receive additional funding. So I come to you for help! Whether you and your children participate in the league or not, we welcome donations! Every dollar towards this youth & community development-based league truly goes a long way towards the experience these kids have. Anybody that has participated in our league for the past 5 years can attest to that. We couldn't be more grateful for the support we have. We just need a bit more to get where we want to be. We thank you in advance for your generosity. What makes this league special is the people it is made up of!

Thank you so much,

Danny Vithlani & Arya Shirazi
