    Warba Freely youth baseball program receives Twin Community Fund grant

    2024-04-24

    The Warba Feeley Youth Baseball program announced today that they are receiving a Fields for Kids matching grant of $5,000 from the Minnesota Twins Community Fund. This grant will help fund improvements to the fencing and baselines.

    The Twins Community Fund’s Fields for Kids grant program provides financial support to improve baseball and softball facilities for youth in the Upper Midwest and Southwest Florida. The program makes matching grants to nonprofit organizations and local government units that operate baseball and/or softball programs. The Twins Community Fund and its grant programs are supported in part by its cornerstone partners—Target, US Bank, Treasure Island, and Delta—and fans across Twins Territory. Since its inception in 1999, the Fields for Kids program has granted more than $5 million to improve nearly 825 ballfields across Twins Territory.

    “The Twins Community Fund is committed to making sure kids across Twins Territory have the support, equipment, and safe places to play the games they love. We’re proud to provide grants that help communities empower young people and foster belonging through these games,” said Kristin Rortvedt, Executive Director of the Twins Community Fund.
