Strengthening Our Community

Through Youth Sports

Team sports participation from children ages 6-12 has declined almost 15% nationwide since 2012.

Multiple studies show that America’s youth continue to be less active on a daily basis. The Bullpen Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization focused on reenergizing and improving the overall experience of community-based youth athletic programs and leagues.

I never felt more at home than at a ball game.

Build A Future That Lasts A Lifetime

The years I spent playing sports as a kid were some of the happiest and most memorable times of my life. I learned how to be a good teammate and a leader. I learned so many life lessons from coaches who were at the park volunteering their time and investing in me and my teammates. Much of who I am today in the workplace and community, I can trace back to those days in the dirt. The Bullpen Foundation is about ensuring future generations continue to have those opportunities.

How Can You Help?

Donating Financially​

The funds that we collect will help kids manage the cost of a sports season, help parks improve the overall experience, and fund scholarships for baseball/softball camps, clinics and lessons.​

Becoming A Business Sponsor​

There are many men and women in our community who share in park memories from their childhood. We believe a thriving youth sports program is good for our community.​

Coaching a Team or Volunteering at the Park​

Some of the biggest challenges our rec parks face is lack of volunteers who can coach a team or simply help run the parks on game days.

Providing Sports Equipment

A lot of us have quite a collection of equipment in our garages. We can put it to good use.
