Emergency Relief Funding
Jays Care¡¯s Emergency Relief Fund was created to help Canadian kids get back to the diamond following natural disasters in their community. Funds granted support capital repairs to baseball diamonds and/or the replacement of equipment to help leagues and get kids back to playing the game they love. The Fund also supports investments in equipment or infrastructure intended to protect diamonds from the elements and reduce playing time lost due to inclement weather.
If your local diamond has been affected by a natural disaster, apply now for the Emergency Relief Fund, or email [email protected] to learn more.
