Save Strike Zone and the Irish Baseball Academy!

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Karen Mertig. I started this fundraiser to support the young people who are part of the Irish Baseball Academy.

My son plays baseball in Ireland and is a part of the Irish Baseball Academy. This programme is run in the ONLY indoor baseball facility in Ireland, Strike Zone. The Academy has been a huge part of his teen years and has meant so much to him and many other players, both younger and older, who have participated in the Academy.

Unfortunately, Strike Zone is currently at risk of closing if we cannot raise money as parents, stakeholders, and supporters of baseball, generally, and these young people, specifically. We need to raise enough money to cover shortfalls between what is generated by club dues and the costs of maintaining the facility, including rent and other expenses. All money raised here will go specifically to keeping Strike Zone open and will be returned to donors if we fail to achieve our goal.

If you care about baseball and the development of baseball in Ireland, please donate what you can. Strike Zone provides a safe space for young people and adults in Ireland to come together and enjoy the sport of baseball, to develop their skills, and grow as athletes and individuals. Please consider supporting us in keeping this important and unique space open.

This fundraiser is endorsed by Baseball Ireland.
