Victoria, BC - December 21, 2023
In a heartwarming initiative to support underprivileged youth in the community, the Victoria HarbourCats Foundation has announced its plans to host a Charity Home Run Derby on May 26th, 2024, at the iconic Royal Athletic Park. This event aims to raise both funds and awareness for local kids facing financial barriers to participating in baseball.
The Victoria HarbourCats Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the Victoria HarbourCats baseball team, is dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives of youth in the Greater Victoria area. With a mission to promote inclusivity and provide opportunities for all children to engage in sports, the Foundation has organized this exciting and charitable Home Run Derby.
The Home Run Derby promises to be a thrilling spectacle, bringing together local baseball enthusiasts, families, and supporters of the cause. The event will showcase local talent as they swing for the fences in a friendly competition to hit the most home runs.
All proceeds from the Charity Home Run Derby will be directed towards alleviating the financial burdens faced by underprivileged youth who wish to participate in local baseball programs. The funds will cover registration fees, equipment costs, and other expenses that may deter youngsters from pursuing their passion for the sport.
"As an organization that is deeply rooted in the Victoria community, we believe in the power of sports to inspire and empower young individuals. The Charity Home Run Derby is not just a sporting event; it's a celebration of community spirit and a commitment to ensuring that every child, regardless of their economic background, has the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of playing baseball," said a member of the Victoria HarbourCats Foundation's executive board.
The Victoria HarbourCats are actively seeking partnerships and sponsorships to maximize the impact of the Charity Home Run Derby. Local businesses, organizations, and individuals are encouraged to contribute to this noble cause and support the Foundation's efforts to make a lasting difference in the lives of underprivileged youth.
The event details, including the specific time of the Charity Home Run Derby on May 26th, 2024, will be announced in the coming weeks. The Foundation invites the entire community to mark their calendars for a day filled with fun, camaraderie, and the shared goal of making baseball accessible to all.
