Redlands Pinto 8 All-Star Team to Raise Money

As the Redlands Baseball for Youth (RBY) spring baseball regular season comes to a close, a total of 12 eight-year-old elite athletes have been honored by being chosen as part of the Pinto 8 Red All-Star Team out of more than 110 boys in the division. These accolades are a tremendous honor and reward for the hard work these kids put in all season. This honor also brings the challenge of having to raise funds for our specific team. The All-Star season budget is approximately $4,500, which covers league and tournament entry fees, team uniforms, equipment, and umpire costs. Donations from local patrons and businesses are one way we raise money to reach these goals. Without the support of the local community, we would be unable to reach the financial requirements to provide the Pinto 8 Red All-Star team players with the quality baseball program necessary for success. The boys and their coaches will be serving a buffet breakfast at the Redlands Applebee’s (2046 Redlands Blvd, in front of Walmart) on Saturday, June 7th from 8 to 10 a.m. For just $10 you can start your weekend with a great breakfast and support the team as they represent Redlands at tournaments all around Southern California in the next few months. Get your tickets for the California League Champion 66ers (class A affiliate of the Angels) Thirsty Thursday, June 12th game – also their “Zombie Apocalypse” night. For just $11 you can enjoy a fun evening of baseball with all the fixins’ and even a bit of ‘undead’ fun as you support the Redlands Pinto 8 All-Stars. Businesses and individuals who would like to sponsor this great group of young athletes can do so with sponsorships as low as $50. All donations are 100% tax deductible – all coaches and parents are volunteers. Any and all support is appreciated and the team will provide recognition of your contribution on banners, websites, stories, plaques, etc. as timing permits. For tickets to the breakfast or 66ers game, or sponsorship information, please call Thom at 909-855-3116.
