Hamilton, Ohio - May 2023

On Friday, March 24, 2023, Butler Eagles #407 hosted Hamilton-Fairfield Little League (HFLL) President Travis Riley and Vice President Adam Blundell in their social room to accept a donation of $5,000 for their organization. The donation is to help kids that want to play baseball but may not have the funds to do so. The HFLL provides a great baseball atmosphere for children in the Hamilton and Fairfield communities. Through assistance from organizations like ours, they are able to continue to offer a quality program for our youth. The program looks to develop the Little League traits of Character, Courage, and Loyalty while teaching them discipline, teamwork, and physical wellness in a safe and fun environment. 100% of our sponsorship goes to building the league and supporting the players.
