JP Regan Youth League - 2019 Boston Marathon

If you had the opportunity to grow up playing baseball, this is the fundraiser for you. 

The Jamaica Plain Regan Youth League (JP RYL) provides more than 700 children of Jamaica Plain with the opportunity to play organized baseball and softball in an open, safe, and friendly environment. 

I am running the 2019 Boston Marathon and fundraising to support the JP RYL. One of my current hobbies is running, but I grew up playing baseball in South Carolina and was able to experience the importance of team sports firsthand. While most children who play little league will not go on to play professional sports, the lessons and social skills learned through baseball serve as the developmental foundation for these leaders of tomorrow. 

The work that the JP RYL is doing to provide that experience to the young boys and girls of Jamaica Plain is wonderful, but they need help in order to provide equipment, uniforms, and field time. Helping in any way ensures that the growth of team sports in a positive, supportive atmosphere will continue in Jamaica Plain well into the future. Thank you!
