Why Donate to LMYB?
Please join Linn-Mar Youth Baseball in supporting our Linn-Mar community with a gift that contributes to the educational, recreational, and cultural needs of the community. Your gift supports an extra-curricular activity that Promotes Sportsmanship, Baseball Fundamentals, and Encourages Teamwork in teaching life lessons and contributing to the total growth of nearly 400 of our youth through the opportunity to play baseball.
Practice / game facility rental and individual player equipment costs make baseball one of the most expensive youth sports programs. Costs continue to increase. Surprising to many, the families of 25% of Linn-Mar students are at income levels that qualify for the free and reduced lunch program. The all-volunteer LMYB Board is committed to reduce the cost to play to players/parents, striving to eliminate cost as a barrier to doing so. Community support from individuals and local businesses is a key element to doing so.
With our all-volunteer organization and no paid staff, 100% of your gift goes directly to providing the opportunity to play. Let’s make a difference together!
