YOU MADE 2019 AN ALL STAR YEAR FOR FOB!

Thank you for making our 2019 Swing for the Fences Gala with Title Sponsor Portland Diamond Project the most successful fundraiser in the history of our organization!
With your generous support, we raised over... $140,000!

This increased support will help fund the following 2020 priorities:
​

• Newly Rebranded Full Count RBI Program Expansion: Expand to 24 sites including 2 new Washington County programs with the support of the Hillsboro Hops Foundation and a Full Count RBI: Girls Lead program aimed at keeping girls playing through their transition to middle school

 

• Play Ball Everywhere Campaign: Bring Play Ball Free Clinics to new metro area communities including a girls-specific event and field and blacktop projects engaging community volunteers to bring baseball back to school and playgrounds

 

• Extend Full Count Fellows Program: Extend and deepen the experience for our Full Count Fellows to a year-long career advancement opportunity for metro area high school baseball and softball players

THANK YOU...

• to the FAMILIES who give us the opportunity to share the lessons of this game to your children
• to our SPONSORS, DONORS and FUNDERS for supporting our work
• to our SERVICE PROVIDERS and VOLUNTEERS who made it possible to spend the evening together
• and to our COMMUNITY PARTNERS who work with us and challenge us to show up for and support youth in our community.
