Hi, my name is Christian. I am 12 years old and live in Southern California.  I’ve been playing baseball for about 7 years now.  I play for a team called Elite. We come from Huntington Beach.  I love baseball because it is just so fun and really gets your heart pumping and the blood flowing.  My goal in the long run is to get a scholarship to Cal State Fullerton.  On September 11, 2016, I had a critical injury. I was pitching for GBG at a game and I got hit in the eye from a line drive hit from the batter.  I was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance.  I had a CT scan and every thing came back negative.  I had four stitches under my left eyebrow and a black eye that lasted two weeks.
The whole thing about that is that my team, GBG, played the other team, Elite, and I’m on that team now.  I think it was just a miracle.  God was with me for that whole process and he just led me every step of the way. 

Cooperstown is located in New York.  It is the home of the National Baseball Hall of Fame. They hold a youth baseball tournament for 12 year olds.    I want to got to Cooperstown to have fun and play in this exciting, once in a lifetime tournament.  The tournament is about a week long. There is a place there called the All-star Village. Our team will have our own room. 

The whole team cost is about $21,000 dollars to go.  My share is about $2500. This cost includes the flight, the tournament entry fee and housing for one week, custom uniforms,  coach expenses, all my food and much more.  Our trip is schedule July 29 through August 4, 2017.

I need your help to raise this money so that I can attend the tournament with my baseball team, Elite. I believe if I attend this tournament, it will make me a stronger baseball player and I will achieve my dream of becoming a college baseball player. I would love to take it even farther and become a professional baseball player one day. I would love to be like C.J. Cron on the Angels.

Thank you for your support!
