Help Send Willamette Valley Babe Ruth’s 12U All-Stars to the World Series in Missouri!

We’re proud to share that the 2025 12U Willamette Valley Babe Ruth (WVBR) Nationals team will be representing the Pacific Northwest Region at the Cal Ripken Major/70 World Series in Branson, Missouri this August, and we need your support to get them there!

These 12 athletes earned their place through hard work, talent, and determination. Most of this group were part of the team that won the PNW Regional Championship last summer, officially punching their ticket to this year’s World Series. After an intensive evaluation in the fall, the top 12 players were selected for the 2025 roster, and they’ve been training and competing together since February to prepare for this national stage.

Now, their dream is just around the corner. But getting a team and their families to Missouri for two weeks isn’t easy or cheap.

We’ll be traveling August 5 through 17, and your donation will help with:

✈️ Round trip airfare to Missouri

Two weeks of hotel accommodations

Ground transportation

⚾ Uniforms and team gear

Estimated Team Costs

Hotel for 14 nights for 12 families: $25,200

Airfare at an average of $1,700 per family: $20,400

Ground transportation: $10,000

Uniforms, team equipment, and activities: $5,600

Estimated Total: $61,200

That’s approximately $5,100 per family

This is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity for these players. Not only to compete at the highest level in youth baseball but to do it together as a team representing our entire Pacific Northwest Region.

Every donation makes a difference. Thank you for helping make this unforgettable experience possible for 12 young athletes and the families who have supported them every step of the way.

WE ARE THE VALLEY!! ❤️⚾️⚾️
