| July 31 Galen Men's 55 4 posts | Friends of Baseball endows $1 million - iso local chapters Friends of Baseball endows $1 million - iso local chapters Inspired by a father and son bond formed years earlier through the love of baseball, a Portland businessman has created a million dollar foundation to support youth baseball/softball in Northwest Oregon. Keenan Longcor, who reflects fondly on his youth baseball experiences with his son Ben, established the (FOB) Foundation earlier this year. The Foundation awards grants to help struggling baseball/softball leagues succeed. An important part of the Foundation’s mission is to support groups that enrich youth / parent relationships and to promote life lessons of good sportsmanship and teamwork. FOB is setting its vision now on developing a national presence thru supporting development of local chapters. We are actively inviting existing groups, organizations, businesses or individuals that would like to explore creating a FOB chapter in your local area to contact us. “I have been fortunate in my business and I felt it was time to give back to the sport and the community that helped create lifelong memories for both my son and me. It is my hope that through the Friends of Baseball, other parents and children will kindle a similar bond found in sharing the sport that has so many lifelong lessons.” Keenan Longcor, Friends of Baseball founder. If you feel your community may benefit from a local chapter of Friends of Baseball, or you know others who do, please contact us. You can learn the full story of who, what, where and why Friends of Baseball came to be at www.FriendsofBaseball.org Please include full contact information, groups you represent or are affiliated with and other relevant info. Please send all replies to info@friendsofbaseball.org Sincerely, Friends of Baseball |
