Uptown Long Beach Youth Baseball 10u
Donation protected
Greetings Friends, Family, Community Supporters & Strangers,
Uptown Long Beach Youth Baseball and Softball is a new Cal Ripken/Babe Ruth Chartered league located in the unique area of Long Beach called Uptown. Uptown Long Beach is a multi-culturally diverse and eclectic community made up of the neighborhoods of North Long Beach, Bixby Knolls and California Heights.
We are currently fund raising for our 10u All Star baseball team that has an opportunity to make a run to the Cal Ripken World Series this summer. The financial burden of all travel and lodging expenses rests entirely on the families of these young players.
The simple reality is that no matter how well these players perform on the field, they may not be have a chance to participate unless funds are raised quickly to help support these expenses. As fledgling league, these players are seeking to make history as the first team from Uptown to accomplish this goal.
On the field, the team is fresh off an impressive showing at the All Star Extravaganza travel ball tournament featuring the top club, travel and all-star baseball teams in the competitive Southern California area. The 10u squad reached the semifinal round and placed in the top 4 out of 23 teams.
We are now entering our district all-star round with high expectations and a chance to move on to a state tournament in Simi Valley, CA (June 28-30), a regional tournament in Honolulu, HI (July 15-21) and a final stop in Phenix, AL for the 10u World Series (August 1-8). All of these destinations require a great expense in terms of travel and accommodations.
The travel expenses are enormous and we are graciously and humbly asking for any and all support no matter how great or small. We anticipate the cost to travel to Hawaii alone will run in the 10s of thousands after factoring in all airfare, hotel and food - none of which are compensated in any way by the Cal Ripken/Babe Ruth organization.
All the players and families are incredibly appreciative of any and all support that can be spared. This team is dedicated and working hard on the field DAILY to be a success. For many of these players this will their ONE chance of a lifetime. We do not want see them prove themselves on the field only to forfeit this opportunity due to financial limitations.
You will not only be supporting the dreams of these young players, but showing them that all it takes to change the world is the simple kindness of strangers.
Respectfully,
Jeff Champlin & Uptown LBYBS
