Our girls deserve nothing but the best when it comes to playing youth softball in North Lawrence, NY. We rely on the maintains and operations of the local concession stand to help fund essential aspects of our girls' softball league. This stand provides the necessary revenue to upgrade equipment, such as bats, gloves, and helmets, ensuring that all players have access to safe, modern gear. Moreover, it supports the costs associated with hiring umpires who ensure fair play throughout the season.

Beyond just equipment and staffing, the concession stand is crucial in creating memorable experiences for the girls. Profits made from sales help organize our end-of-the-year party, complete with medals that recognize the hard work and achievements of every player. This event is not just a celebration, but a rite of passage that reinforces sportsmanship, teamwork, and personal growth learned over the season.

Closing or reducing the operations of the concession stand would severely impact our ability to continue providing these necessities and experiences. The community has cherished moments at these games, supported by the sounds, smells, and camaraderie at the stand. It represents not just a source of funds, but a home base of community spirit and support.

We call upon the North Lawrence community, local authorities, and all who have enjoyed the benefits of the stand to recognize its value. Keep it open to ensure our girls can continue to play, grow, and enjoy the sport. By preserving the concession stand, we preserve our community's dedication to youth development through sports.
