Reds Baseball Camp for Matthew
Donation protected
Matthew K. Groves wants to attend the Cincinnati Reds Baseball Camp this summer.
It's a week-long camp that takes place in 8 cities across Reds Country, including Columbus, Ohio.
A day at camp starts at 9am and goes to 3pm. Not counting lunch, that's 6 hours of instruction from coaches.
Every camp will have a guest appearance by a current top-name Reds player. Possibilities include: Homer Bailey, Jay Bruce, Aroldis Chapman, Johnny Cueto, Brandon Phillips, Todd Frazier, and Joey Votto.
Each camp will get instruction from a real Reds coach. Possibilities include: Bryan Price, Mark Berry, Billy Hatcher.
The week also includes a VIP trip to Great American Ball Park for a tour of the park and the field.
Each camper also gets a full Reds uniform, and four tickets to a Reds game with an on-field parade.
Kids who do the best at skills competitions will get an invitation to Champions Day finals to compete with other top competitors.
The cost of the camp is $395, which is quite a bargain for an experience like this, but with the gas/time costs (the camp is on the other side of Columbus from us), the cost of Matthew's other baseball programs this summer, and all of the other family activities, this cost stretches the budget a bit, which is why we decided to try fund-raising.
If you donate, we'll be happy to provide you with some tokens of our gratitude:
* At the $5 participation level, we'll send you an email expressing our thanks.
* At the $20 level, Matthew will hand-draw a "Thank You" note/picture, along with all the lower level rewards.
* At the $50 level, Matthew will autograph one of his own practice baseballs and we'll mail it to you, along with all the lower level rewards.
Any money raised above and beyond the goal will be used toward related costs and/or rolled into Matthew's savings account .
