<div>Hi, I’m Coach Padilla, dad, mentor, and founder of Firecrackers Padilla, a brand-new 501(c)(3) girls’ softball nonprofit in Orange County, CA. We started with one 8U travel team and a dream: every girl—from 8 to 18 years old—deserves a safe, fun, empowering place to swing, run, and shine.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But right now?
</div>
<div>We’re sharing 6 softballs between 65 kids.
</div>
<div>Our bats are duct-taped.
</div>
<div>We practice on dirt patches because field rentals cost $369/month.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And every time we dream bigger. Sandlot games, Daddy-Daughter Dances, monthly Kids Dance Parties, Home Run Derbies—we hit the same wall: no gear, no fences, no canopy to shade our families.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>THIS IS WHERE YOU COME IN.
</div>
<div>We’re not just building teams.
</div>
<div>We’re building confidence, community, and childhood memories—one high-five at a time. Here’s what your donation buys:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>| $25 | 1 dozen NEW softballs (yellow optic—the real deal!)
</div>
<div>| $50 | Custom canopy with “Firecrackers Padilla” logo
</div>
<div>(shade for 20 families) |
</div>
<div>| $100 | 1 month of field rental (so we stop practicing in parking lots)
</div>
<div>| $150 | Portable fencing for Home Run Derbies (no more chasing balls into the street!) |
</div>
<div>| $250 | Full set of tee-ball gear for our NEW T-Ball Division (ages 3–5)
</div>
<div>| $500 | Sponsor a Daddy-Daughter Dance (DJ, glow sticks, 100 smiles) |OUR PLAN (and why it works):
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Start Small, Dream BIG 2026: Launch T-Ball (ages 3–5) Sandlot League
</div>
<div>2027: Add 12U,
</div>
<div>2028: Add 14U, 16U, 18U full pipeline to college ball
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Events That Fill Hearts (Not Just Fields) Daddy-Daughter Dance
</div>
<div>(Feb) → glow bracelets, photo booth, first pitch
</div>
<div>Monthly Kids’ Dance Party → music, snacks, dance-offs
</div>
<div>Home Run Derby and more Games → trophies, snow cones, community BBQ
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Gear That Lasts Custom canopies (sun protection + pro look)
</div>
<div>Portable fences (safe, real derbies)
</div>
<div>Training tools (tees, screens, cones)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>REAL KID. REAL IMPACT. “Coach, when can I get a glove that isn’t cracked?” – Serenity, age 10
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>“I want to dance with my dad. I have never been to a daddy-daughter dance – Tianna, age 9
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your $10, $25, or $100 isn’t charity—it’s fuel for the future.
</div>
<div>Every dollar goes straight to gear, fields, and magic moments.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
