The Abbotsford Cardinals is a non-profit organization that serves youth baseball players in the Fraser Valley. We are a long-time member of the British Columbia Premier Baseball League, a high performance league for ages 14u-18u. With the recent floods in the lower mainland, the Abbotsford Cardinals have once again lost their facility, including turf, cages and equipment. This local training facility is also home to the Yale Baseball Academy (a high school training program) & local instructors who offer private training sessions for the up and coming youth in our community.

As we look towards rebuilding and recovering from this heartbreaking disaster which has unfortunately happened twice in a 5 year span, we are looking for donations to not only replace turf and equipment, but also help off-set incurring rental space costs over the coming months to ensure that our players can still train and be ready for the 2026 season. Furthermore, our organization will now be seeking an alternative, permanent space to call home to ensure that we don't find ourselves in the same predicament over the coming years.

Our organization takes much pride in playing an active role in our community. Despite this unfortunate circumstance, our mandate will continue to develop upstanding and high character baseball players and people through commitment to development, competition, sacrifice, and culture. Our coaches will continue to create an environment where athletes are challenged to reach their full potential both on and off the field, and our culture will continue to be driven by great people. True growth comes from sacrifice, trust, adversity, and a relentless pursuit of excellence and this flood will be just one minor bump along the road. Bringing home a league championship and providing our players an opportunity to play at the next level will continue to remain at the forefront of our mission, regardless of this minor setback.

All donations are greatly appreciated as we look to bounce back stronger than ever in 2026.
