Used Baseball Equipment for Nicaragua

Have you ever wondered if you could do some good with the old sports gear your child has grown out of or the gear from a sport your child has lost interest in?

Children all over the world are in need of sporting goods gear. While most of us have the means to buy a new pair of cleats, baseball glove, a new bat or new baseballs. A much larger number of children are playing with very poor quality gear or no gear at all. 

In many parts of the world youth sports is a luxury, not a form of recreation.
Nicaragua is the second poorest country in the western hemisphere only behind Haiti.  
Below is a picture of the typical living conditions.

Bill Ellwanger will have a table at the Post 8 Pancake feed to collect old baseball equipment as part of an equipment drive to send to Nicaragua. Join us at the Legion cabin starting at 7:00 am on Saturday February 15th and bring your old unwanted baseball equipment.
