Speaker: Amie & Michael Rosen & Donald Marlatt, Gaylord Little League

How would a $5,000 grant improve your program?

Amie & Michael Rosen & Donald Marlatt: Hi, I'm Amy. Hi, I'm Donald and I'm Michael and we're with Gaylord Little League. We thank you for nominating Gaylord Little League. Since 1939 Gaylord Little League has been partnering with Little League International. And this past season, we were able to support 600 plus athletes in Otsego County. In order for us to maintain and grow the program, our facilities require continuous maintenance for safety and playability. And to support these 600 plus athletes, a small army of volunteers are critical for the success of a season. This program relies 100% on sponsorship dollars and volunteers because we're not a part of any city or county program. I think that's an important point, Gaylord Little League is responsible for raising all of its own funds for both maintenance and to support the kids. Another important point is no child is ever denied an opportunity to play in Gaylord Little League regardless of if the family can come up with the registration fees, we'll always absorb the fee in order to include the child. Again, your vote can directly impact the lives of 600 plus children by helping us maintain the facilities for safety and playability. Finally, on behalf of Gaylord Little League, we'd just like to say thank you for the nomination, it's brought a privilege to create awareness for the impact that we're making, as well as the needs that we currently have. please vote for Gaylord Little League.
