Local baseball group donates jerseys to youth in Dominican

March 24, 2022   ·   0 Comments

The Orangeville Headwaters Minor Baseball Association and Team Choice Real Estate recently teamed up to help make a difference for the young budding baseball stars of Las Terrenas, Dominican Republic.
Team Choice RE/MAX Real Estate Agent – Mark Phipps – reached out to the OHMBA earlier this year to see if the association had any old equipment that they were looking to get rid of to donate to the less fortunate.

Mr. Phipps and his wife were travelling to the Playa Punta Popi over the March Break, and wanted to provide support to the local children that play baseball on the beach throughout the week. 
With the OHMBA going through a redesign of their uniform program this year, the organization had some overstock jerseys and pants that they were happy to donate to the cause.

Mr. Phipps and his wife packed up the jerseys in a couple of extra suitcases, and distributed them to the locals, with different groups of kids playing on different days throughout the week.

The smiling faces and happy children were heartwarming to see, according to Mr. Phipps and the OHMBA is glad to have been able to make a difference.
