Fundraising, why do I need to participate?

• First and foremost 100% of the money received from registration, fundraisers, sponsors and concessions goes into the Greenback Youth Baseball & Softball Organization.

   

• We are a non-profit organization and solely run and operated by volunteers.

   

• No member of the organization including the board members are being paid or compensated in any way for any duties preformed for the GYBS Organization.

   

• All members of the organization including the board members are required to pay the same registration and any other fees required and participate in all fundraisers. If anything the board members pay more than anyone else with the countless hours spent organizing and preparing all aspects of the operation of the organization. Many times spending out of pocket money for items and services and not being reimbursed for such expenses (by choice). Why? Because of the support and dedication we want to show and to provide the best experience possible to every child and adult that participates in the program and to the community.

   

• We want to keep the registration fee low enough to help the families in the community that are less fortunate and struggling to make ends meet. Even with our low registration fee for whatever reason some families are unable to come up with the required fees. We are proud of the fact we have never turned a child away for nonpayment and do not plan to do so. We are in this for the children and the community.

   

• The Registration Fee covers the cost of the player’s uniforms and insurance.

   

• The fundraisers, sponsors,  and concessions go toward the cost of:

  • Practice ball (for each team)

  • Game ball (for each team)

  • Catchers Gear (for each team)

  • Field Chalk

  • Field Dry

  • Umpires

  • Any improvements to fields

  • Concessions items

  • Just to mention a few

     

• Some short term goals for GYBS Organization

  • Lights for T-ball field

  • Permanent fence for T-ball field

  • Permanent fence for softball field

  • Improvements to scoreboards

  • Improvements to concessions

  • Improvements to dugout’s

  • Just to mention a few

     

• Some long term goals for GYBS Organization

  • Independent and self-supporting facilities

None of this can be accomplished without the support and participation from everyone involved in the program and the community.
