NR Boston Strong Baseball goes to Italy!

I am raising money for the North Reading Boston Strong baseball team. We have been invited to participate in the Sala Baganza International Tournament in Parma, Italy August 5 - 10, 2014. This tournament is part of the United States sports diplomacy efforts to help build stronger relations with other countries. As stated recently in a National Geographic article, "Sports diplomacy is a powerful force for reaching individuals in every corner of the globe. Sports transcend borders, increase dialogue, and expose foreign participants to American Culture. Outside of official channels, sports diplomacy connects people on a personal level through our common interests, values, and passions." Please donate a 100% tax-deductible gift to the North Reading Diamond Club using this web site. We will in turn send you a receipt via mail. It is with tremendous pride and honor that I accept this responsibility.
