We believe every child should have the chance to experience the joy of playing baseball, regardless of financial circumstances. Cost should never be a barrier to being part of a team.
Here at CBS Kiwanis Minor Baseball, any child who wants to learn, grow, and have fun playing baseball is welcome. The below organizations help remove barriers and promote diversity in our program. Thanks to them, baseball truly is for all!
Sammy's Climb Higher Foundation offers financial assistance to families in need. Their mission is to make sure any child can play sports - all they need is the desire to play.
From their website:
"...we are committed to ensuring that all children have an opportunity to participate in sports and recreational/arts programs, regardless of financial situations."
"...we will work to provide funding to families who struggle to enroll children in sports/recreation/arts organizations and to community groups that require recreational equipment upgrades."
Since being founded in 2022, they have helped countless kids across the province join sports leagues by discreetly easing the financial burden. Their generosity has allowed kids who otherwise may never have stepped onto a baseball diamond to thrive on the field.
The KidSport Program is administered by Sport Newfoundland & Labrador. This program provides sport grants to financially disadvantaged youth in CBS to cover registration/participant fees and personal sport equipment.

Our Association is proud to be a community partner with Canadian Tire Jumpstart, increasing opportunities for kids from the communities we serve to participate in sport and recreation, and get active and healthy.
