Helping To Fund The
Babe Ruth League Scholarships

Babe Ruth League, Inc. realizes youth are the future of our nation.  They are our most important resources, and we must aim high for our children.  Every child needs caring adults, a healthy start, a safe environment, a good education, development of marketable skills and the opportunity for a fulfilling and meaningful life. 

Babe Ruth League, Inc. is proud of its continuing goal to prepare young people to meet the challenges of adolescence and adulthood through organized baseball and softball.  Our objective is to assist them in becoming socially, ethically, emotionally, and physically competitive.  We also recognize the significance of ensuring our next generation’s continuing scholastic needs as well as the rising costs associated with education.  It is for those reasons that we established the Babe Ruth League, Inc. College Scholarship Fund to provide financial assistance to former Babe Ruth League baseball and softball players.   

Funding for the Babe Ruth League scholarship programs are generated from our annual Golf Outing, along with donations from our good friends at K&K Insurance Group who serves as the title sponsor, Anaconda Sports, Spikes Trophies and Rawlings Sporting Goods.  Listed below are the companies and athletic groups who have donated to the 2009 Babe Ruth League Golf Outing:
