Play Ball: North Andover Youth Baseball Seeks Support

It is finally getting to be that time of year to play ball. The opening day parade will be on May 2 and the all- star game will be June 7. 

North Andover Little League serves over 1000 young players, ages 6 to 18, every year. Children learn not only baseball skills, but also life lessons in teamwork, leadership and sportsmanship. Parents contribute thousands of volunteer hours each year to provide a healthy and fun experience for our town’s children.

Financial assistance helps keep registration fees low, important since many of the families we serve have multiple children in our program, according to Ed Lynch, fundraising chairman for the local little league.

The North Andover Little League is appealing for financial support for the upcoming season.

“We have not raised the registration fee in several years. We also provide scholarships for any player with a financial hardship. Your help also helps us meet our uniform needs, replace worn out equipment, and care for our fields to keep them safe for playing. The League receives no town assistance for field maintenance, not even mowing,” Lynch said in a news release. ”We realize that everyone is experiencing a challenging year again, but we hope we can count on your tax-deductible donation so that we can continue to provide healthy and fun activity for our children.”

North Andover Youth Baseball Association is listed as a 501 (C)(3) Public Charity under the name North Andover Youth Baseball Association, Tax I.D. 04-3565552, so your contribution is tax deductible. Email Lynch at :edylynch@aol.com or call him at (978.265) 2499 for more information.
