Swing for the Fences Gala
Our Annual Fundraiser is normally held every fall and features an inspiring program featuring food, art, a live-auction and the vision for our work on center stage. The evening also features a fan fest atmosphere with our nearly 350 community leaders, supporters and friends and a live auction with items like premium tickets to concerts and sporting events.
Our 2023 Swing for the Fences Gala was held on March 2, 2023 at the Redd on Salmon.

Annual Coaches Clinic
Less that 10% of all volunteer coaches receive any formal training (according to our partner Positive Coaching Alliance). Each year in late winter (typically February), Friends of Baseball hosts a subsidized clinic for volunteer youth baseball and softball coaches. Leagues pay a nominal rate for the entire league and can send as many coaches as they want to receive expert instruction and coaching philosophies from our trainers.
