Through its \u201cShare the Glove\u201d initiative, the Northwoods League Foundation awarded more than $50,000 in baseball and softball equipment this year.<\/em><\/p>\n

Rochester, Minn. \u2013 The Northwoods League Foundation, in partnership with NWL teams and Official Uniform & Equipment Supplier, Rawlings Sporting Goods, has awarded 23 equipment grants to youth baseball and softball organizations across the Midwest totaling more than $50,000.<\/p>\n

\u201cLocal youth teams are heartbeat of their communities and provide kids with the opportunity to develop lifelong skills and friendships,\u201d said Tina Coil, Northwoods League Deputy Commissioner. \u201cWe are grateful to partner once again with our member teams and equipment partner, Rawlings Sporting Goods, to support youth baseball and softball across the Midwest.\u201d<\/p>\n

Each grant features a collection of Rawlings equipment, including one set of catcher\u2019s gear with mitt, nine fielding gloves, six batting helmets, three bats and one bucket of practice balls.<\/p>\n

The Share the Glove<\/em> initiative supports participation in youth baseball and softball activities throughout Northwoods League communities, and was introduced in 2018 as part of the League\u2019s 25th<\/sup> Season Celebration. Annually, Northwoods League affiliates promote the grant and collect applications from youth organizations in their local markets.<\/p>\n

Grants are still available in the Rochester, MN, and Royal Oak, MI, markets.\u00a0 For more information, please contact the Rochester Honkers and Royal Oak Leprechauns directly.<\/p>\n

The Northwoods League Foundation proudly recognizes the following organizations as this year\u2019s recipients of a Share the Glove<\/em> equipment grant, and the NWL market they represent:<\/p>\n
