Help These Boys Chase Their Baseball Dreams

For years, Mount Olive's 12U travel boys have represented their community with pride, sportsmanship, and hustle. They’ve grown up together on the diamond (before Turkey Brook was turf!), building friendships and life skills that extend far beyond the game. This season, they’ve earned the chance to compete at Cooperstown, and we need your help to make their experience unforgettable.

We’ve been fundraising for this trip since we were 8U, and we’re doing one last push to raise funds by July 11 to help cover remaining costs. These expenses add up quickly, and for many families, the cost can be a barrier to participation. Our goal is to make sure every player gets the chance to have an incredible experience in Cooperstown.

Why This Matters

Youth sports have a lasting impact. Studies show that kids who participate in organized sports:

• Build stronger communication and leadership skills

• Develop greater confidence and resilience

• Are more likely to succeed in school and future careers

• Form lifelong friendships and healthier habits

This team is living proof of that. They’re becoming young men of character on and off the field because of this experience.

How You Can Help

Whether you’re part of our Mount Olive community, a former player, a family member, or simply someone who believes in what sports can do for kids, we’d be so grateful for your support.

• Donate what you can

• Share this fundraiser with your network

• Help us spread the word and build momentum

Every dollar brings these boys one step closer to a once-in-a-lifetime experience and creates memories they’ll carry for the rest of their lives.

Thank you for believing in this team. Let's get these boys to Cooperstown!
