  • Program 1 [2020]

    In April 2018, Baseballtown Charities completed the construction of the Dream League field to give those with physical and mental disabilities the same chance to enjoy the game of baseball as those able-bodied players every day across the country. Traditional baseball fields are not designed for those with special needs. The Dream League is a custom-designed turf field that accommodates wheelchairs and other assistive devices while helping to prevent injuries. The spirit of the Dream League allows developmentally-challenged children to thrive, without the competitive burdens of traditional teams and leagues.

  • Program 2 [2020]

    In December 2018, Baseballtown Charities undertook a new challenge to help individuals showing promise in the sports f baseball and softball improve their skills. Rip It for Life selects kids that may not have the economic wherewithal to get top notch baseball and softball training. We identify players who have the desire to be better, but would not otherwise have access to the type of instructors and facilities that Rip It for Life can provide. We give these players a chance to be better, on the field and off. And off the field, Rip It for Life can provide an additional shoulder to lean on when necessary. Rip It for Life believe socio-economic challenges should not be an impediment to their journey to be better players and better people.

  • Program 3 [2020]

    During this COVID year when high schools were conducting classes online and sports teams were unable to play, Baseballtown Charities offered these students from high school and league teams a place to play games using the Reading Fightin Phils field at FirstEnergy Stadium. These games took place the entire summer of 2020, but were a one-time thing since the Reading Fightin Phils season was canceled by Minor League Baseball due to COVID restrictions. This was done as a service to the communities in Berks County and attendees were limited to 250 people in accordance with state regulations.
