Rumford Little League Proud To Host Another Successful Wounded Warrior Tournament

I read this incredibly inspiring post in my Facebook group page “Something Off” this week from Rumford Little League President Eddie Wencis and wanted to share it with you.

Central Falls Youth Baseball’s Comeback Fundraiser Goal – Every Kid Plays For Free in 2023

Fundraisers are critical for most youth sports leagues and help raise funds for field improvements, equipment upgrades, and sometimes to support scholarships for membership or registration fees. Today, I read a post about a local Rhode Island baseball league and its goal – “Every kid plays for free next year (2023).” That league is Central Falls Youth Baseball League.
