Richland Northeast Baseball Team collecting equipment for Charity

Richland Northeast Baseball teams are teaming up with an organization called Roberto’s Kids. The teams are asking community members to donate new or used baseball equipment to be sent to Latin American countries. Roberto’s Kids is a nonprofit organization that collects baseball equipment and distributes it in third-world countries where children lack equipment needed to play the sport. The team plans to collect from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday at the baseball fields at Richland Northeast.

Donations may include gloves, bats, balls, catcher’s equipment, bases, batting helmets, cleats, sneakers, uniforms, hats and socks. So clean out your closets any donation would be greatly appreciated.
