Help Arlington 8U All Stars Get to the World Series! ⚾

Dear Family, Friends, and Fans of our A-Town 8U All Star Team,

After an incredible summer of dedication, sweat, and pure love for the game, our 8-year-old All Stars have done the unthinkable – they are the District 7, Eastern Massachusetts, and the New England Regional Champions… and now they’re heading to the Cal Ripken World Series In New Jersey!

This has grown from just a team into a family. Since May these 12 young athletes, their 4 dedicated coaches, and their families have committed countless hours to practices, games, and long drives including a week-long of afternoon trips to Freetown, MA for the States Tournament and six intense days of competing in Connecticut for the NE Regional Championship where they were undefeated in all 5 games. These boys hit the ground running, with very little time to learn entirely new rules. They gladly took on the challenge- adapting fast, and showing incredible discipline and teamwork. Thanks to the dedication and tireless guidance of their coaches Angelo Amico, Pete Arcoma, Eric McPherson and Mike Kalivas, they not only adjusted but thrived. They’ve played with heart, grit, and joy every step of the way and earned the opportunity to compete on the biggest stage of their young lives: a 10-day World Series event in New Jersey packed with events, games and unforgettable memories.

Travelling to the World Series is a dream come true but it also comes with significant expenses such as hotel stays, meals, transportation, and other related team costs. These all add up quickly, especially for families that have already gone above and beyond to support the kids throughout this journey. Your donation will directly help families and these young athletes stay focused on what they do best- playing their hearts out and making memories that will last a lifetime.

These boys are fired up, united, and ready to represent our community with pride as they’ve done in all tournaments. Team members include; Bryce Allen, Angelo Amico, Luke Arcoma, Brendan Kerr, Avery Lee, Simon MacLeod, Mark Lubinga, Kodey McPherson, Thomas Quinn, Ben Schneider, Rowan Sullivan, and Fennec Tymchak. Let’s rally behind them and help them make this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity possible. Every donation, no matter the size, helps lighten the load for these dedicated 12 families and make this dream possible for a group of kids who’ve worked incredibly hard and never gave up. If you can’t give, sharing this with your network is just as appreciated.

Your generosity and encouragement mean a lot to these boys and the entire Arlington baseball community. Let’s rally together and send our All Stars to the World Series in true Arlington style- proud, loud, and ready to compete!

Thank you so much for being part of this amazing journey. Let’s go Arlington! ⚾⚾
