NBBA Presidents Message; May 27, 2025

May 27, 2025

 Dear NBBA Membership,

I am thrilled to be in the midst  of the beep baseball season. It has been an exciting year already and it’s just heating up.

Thank you to everyone who’s already contributed to our “Sponsor a Beep Baseball” campaign! With over 60 donors on board, we’re off to a strong start toward our goal of helping subsidize the cost of 250 beeping balls for the World Series. This annual campaign not only supports a critical equipment need but also empowers our membership to network and raise awareness about our sport. We’re nearly halfway to our target; every $37 donation brings us one step closer.
