The Berkshire Optimist Baseball Club will be conducting their World Equipment Outreach Program. The club will be organizing one drop off date during the 2009 season where you can bring your used baseball & softball equipment and donate it.

The organization will then donate the equipment to the Olivet's Boys & Girls Club of Reading & Berks County as well as overseas through their new partnership with the National Alliance of Youth Sports (NAYS) and their Global Gear Drive.

Please donate items that can still be used. Financial contributions to help offset the cost of shipping can be made at the drop off location or via the secured link right here on our web site. All donations, equipment and financial contributions, are tax deductible.

Equipment can be dropped off on the following date and location:

Sunday, July 19, 2009 - 12-4 PM
First Energy Stadium
Outside Main Gate (Left Side)
Rt. 61, Reading, PA
(This will be conducted in conjunction with the annual Baseballtown/Berkshire Scholarship Fund Game. The Reading Phillies will take on the New Britain Rock Cats at 1:05 PM and the Berkshire Scholarship Fund Game will follow at 5:05 PM)
