​Bring Me Home

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 help make a difference. 

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!
 Thanks to all of you, Bring Me Home has raised over $10,000 to date. Please join us in supporting kids who may not otherwise have the opportunity to play sports.

​ Grab a team of 5 or sign up solo, come up with your team name and be prepared to crush your opponents!

Games, food, prizes & fun all for a great cause. 

Space is limited to 10 teams. Every player receives a Bring Me Home baseball cap. 

All proceeds will be divided equally between Friends of Baseball and Lake Oswego Little League. ​
Bring Me Home is dedicated to providing underserved kids with the opportunity to play organized sports.

Money raised by Bring Me Home's Wiffle Ball Tournaments 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​
