Bring Me Home was founded in 2017 with a group of friends who had a goal to give kids from under served communities an opportunity to play sports.  We were aware that the access we had to athletics wasn't something that all kids had and we wanted to do something to try and change that. 

Research shows that playing sports provides a range of physical, emotional and interpersonal benefits for kids including:
  • Self-confidence
  • Leadership
  • Sportsmanship
  • Teamwork
  • Motor skill development
  • Fitness
  • Better vision
  • Friendship
  • And fun!
 
While we continued this work in smaller ways throughout the pandemic, we are excited to bring back our Annual Wiffle Ball Tournament. Please join us and support kids who may not otherwise have the opportunity to have access to playing sports.

Bring Me Home is dedicated to providing underserved kids with the opportunity to play organized sports.

Money raised by Bring Me Home's 2022 Wiffle Ball Tournament will benefit Friends of Baseball and Lake Oswego Little League
Friends of Baseball was founded in 2005 by an Oregon father, son and Board of Trustees driven by their passion to give back in the form of aid and partner resources to the community of youth baseball and softball that they love. What started out as a foundation sponsored by the Oregon Sports Authority has grown into an independent 501c3 that is working in five key areas:
  • Baseball-inspired academic and physical education after school and summer enrichment programs
  • Scholarhips for kids to have access to play for local leagues and teams
  • Training coaches to be positive mentors and providing them with resources
  • Equipment and gear distribution
  • Field safety and improvements​
