Little League Kids Dream Big

Nestled in the picturesque landscapes of northeast Pennsylvania, Franklin Township pulses with heartwarming traditions. Imagine the scent of freshly baked apple pie and sticky buns wafting through the air, coupled with the sight of the American flag dancing gracefully in the breeze. That's our beloved township for you!

But do you know what else quickens our heartbeat? The exhilarating sound of a baseball bat connecting with a ball, and the sight of our young champs taking the field. Through the support, coaching, and tireless cheering of the Franklin Township Athletic Association, baseball has become more than a game — it's our shared passion.

However, our hallowed grounds at Christman Field need a champion off the field. We're facing challenges, the most pressing being significant drainage issues across all our fields.

Let's Build Dreams Together! Your generous support can transform Christman Field into the baseball haven our kids deserve. Will you join our team and help us hit a home run for the future stars of Franklin Township?

Join the Grand Slam Dream of Franklin Township! ⚾️✨

Hey, baseball enthusiasts! Every kid in the Franklin Township Athletic Association (FTAA) roster, from the tiniest T-baller to the most seasoned 16-year-old slugger, shares a burning passion: an unwavering love for baseball. With over 20 teams and almost 300 players lighting up our fields, the FTAA stands as their proud guardian. We've got heartwarming coaches guiding their dreams, dedicated moms ensuring the concession stands never run dry, and a battalion of incredible volunteers who make magic happen behind the scenes.

But here's our pitch: Christman Field, our cherished diamond, dreams of a makeover. While our ambition is high, achieving this dream will be a league effort, stretching beyond just Franklin Township to neighboring communities that share in the joy our baseball program brings.

The Game Plan? Tackle this mammoth renovation in phases, ensuring every penny drives value. The first inning of this dream? A goal of $350,000. With relentless fundraising, grant hunts, and, crucially, your generous backing, we envision starting work on the fields soon.

The FTAA is all in, batting for this dream. But with you on our team? We know we're hitting a home run for our young champs. Dive into this dream with us. Together, let's create a legacy for our kids. From the bottom of our cleats to the tips of our caps: THANK YOU!
