Willmar, MN – The Willmar Stingers and Coordinated Business Systems are teaming up to reward nine youth in the community with the Community All-Stars program.

The Stingers and Coordinated Business Systems strongly believe in getting involved and supporting the local community and  have partnered to bring the Community All-Stars program back to the Bee Hive for the 2023 season.  The program rewards nine youth for their community involvement and how they make a positive impact within their community.

The Community All-Star program will begin receiving applications starting today through Friday, April 14th.  Youth (between the ages of 8 to 14 years old) will be encouraged to register online or submit by mail their answers to four (4) questions for their chance to be selected to the Community All-Star Team.  Youth will be asked to submit answers to questions focusing on their community and how they make a positive impact. A committee will select the nine children based on their answers and experiences that they have written about.

The nine children selected will be rewarded with an experience that will show what it is like to live a day in the life of a Stingers baseball player. The 2023 Community All-Star Program includes the following experiences for each of the nine-youth selected to be a part of the team.  The experiences will be a part of the Community All-Stars Night presented by Coordinated Business Systems on Monday, July 10th.
