<div>Help Send Our 12U DVBC Patriots to Cooperstown – The Birthplace of Baseball! ⚾️

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This summer, our 12U Diablo Valley Baseball Club team has the incredible honor of traveling to Cooperstown, New York—the birthplace of baseball—for a once-in-a-lifetime tournament experience. For youth players across the country, this is the dream. A week filled with baseball, lifelong memories, and a chance to play on the same fields where the game’s greatest stories live.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We’re asking for your support to help make this journey possible for every player on our roster.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Why This Matters

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Most of these boys have played baseball together since they were 9 years old, and many have been competing against each other since age 5. They’ve grown up together on local fields, in the dugouts, and in the community—pushing each other, inspiring each other, and forming bonds that will last long after their last baseball game.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>They take their development seriously and work hard year-round, but what makes this group truly special is how they shine off the field.

</div>

<div>Our players are musicians, artists, soccer players, basketball players, and dedicated students. They show up for each other, for their school communities, and for younger athletes who look up to them.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>A Team Rooted in Community

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>DVBC is built on giving back—and this team lives that out.

</div>

<div>From working community events to supporting fundraisers to mentoring younger players, these kids understand that baseball is more than a sport… it’s about character, connection, and gratitude.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Now, they need the community they’ve supported for years to help send them to the biggest experience of their young baseball lives.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Where Your Donation Goes

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Every contribution directly supports the players and their families by helping cover:

</div>

<div>	•	✈️ Travel and transportation

</div>

<div>	•	 Team meals and food throughout the week

</div>

<div>	•	️ Lodging in the Cooperstown bunkhouses

</div>

<div>	•	⚾️ Tournament fees and games

</div>

<div>	•	 Memories they’ll never forget

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This trip is costly, and our goal is to ensure that no player is left behind due to financial barriers.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>You Can Make a Difference

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Your donation—large or small—helps these boys step onto the field where baseball history was born. It helps them chase a dream they’ve worked toward for years. And it helps reward their dedication, sportsmanship, and pride in the DVBC community.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>On behalf of the coaches, parents, and every single player:

</div>

<div>Thank you for supporting our journey to Cooperstown and for believing in these kids.

</div>

<div>We promise to represent our community with heart, hustle, and gratitude.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>⚾️ Thank you for helping make this dream a reality!
