<div><strong>Why We’re Raising Funds</strong>
</div>
<div>Baseball is more than a game in Westbrook, it’s a classroom for life. The <a href="https://www.westbrookbaseballfoundation.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Westbrook Baseball Foundation</a> preserves and celebrates our city’s rich baseball history while using the game to provide educational, social, and physical opportunities for our youth. Through baseball, young people learn essential life lessons, build character, and develop sportsmanship and community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our flagship effort is the <strong><em>Jimmy Burrill Memorial Baseball Scholarship</em></strong>, recognizing a Westbrook High School senior who has positively contributed to the baseball program and excelled in academics, demonstrated good sportsmanship, and shown community involvement. The Foundation was organized in 2009 to provide scholarships for WHS seniors, and we’ve kept that promise ever since. In some years, when two candidates’ qualifications are too close to choose just one, we award two scholarships.
