Traditional baseball fields are not designed for those with special needs. The Dream League is a custom-designed turf field that accommodates wheelchairs and other assistive devices while helping to prevent injuries. The spirit of the Dream League allows developmentally-challenged children to thrive, without the competitive burdens of traditional teams and leagues. This is a volunteer labor of love, and working with these kids is a life-changing experience. 224626 0 157492 In December 2018, Baseballtown Charities undertook a new challenge to help individuals showing promise in the sports of baseball and softball improve their skills. Rip It for Life selects kids that may not have the economic wherewithal to get top notch baseball and softball training. We identify players who have the desire to be better, but would not otherwise have access to the type of instructors and facilities that Rip It for Life can provide. We give these players a chance to be better, on the field and off. And off the field, Rip It for Life can provide an additional shoulder to lean on when necessary. Rip It for Life believe socio-economic challenges should not be an impediment to their journey to be better players and better people. 1156 0 0 Started a program in 2021 in field renovation to assist children's baseball leagues in getting their fields in shape to play baseball. Part of our commitment was setting them up with a professional turf management company for renovation, and volunteers to assist in the clean up and renovation working with the professional groundskeeper for the local AA Minor League Baseball team in getting the fields ready for play. 86862 86862 0 Grants to other organizations furthering our mission. 86862 86862 0 509999 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 47 44 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 3 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X Kristyne A Scheibeler CPA CGMA 6104064547 PO Box 15050 Reading PA 19612 Charles J Domino President 7 0 X X 0 0 0 Scott M Hunsicker Vice President 7 0 X X 0 0 0 Joseph J Bialek Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Michael T Robinson Secretary 1 0 X 0 0 0 Kristyne A Scheibeler CPA CGMA Treasurer 10 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4350 0 0 95932 0 100282 Dream League 711211 6257 6257 0 0 Rip It for Life 713940 157492 157492 0 0 0 0 0 0 163749 188 188 0 0 0 0 0 0 78 78 0 0 0 0 0 0 18780 4350 17763 1017 1017 0 197648 113222 84426 84426 0 0 4883 1674 3209 3209 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 352949 251650 1017 0 78945 78945 11360 11360 3407 3407 83801 83801 74618 74618 204429 108778 59133 36518 8018 8018 Dream League 37886 37886 0 0 Rip It for Life 124259 124259 0 0 Field renovation 1156 1156 0 0 Miscellaneous 556 556 0 0 628435 509999 81918 36518 264557 159299 0 0 160185 120158 46433 66588 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1449 2234 1219703 490507 815728 729196 0 0 0 0 0 0 544878 377203 1833230 1454678 92827 145973 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1164302 1065070 0 0 431213 374233 1688342 1585276 X 144888 -130598 0 0 144888 -130598 1833230 1454678 -275486 0 0 0 0 0 X 1 X 0 0 0 X 110095 53466 53366 115675 100282 432884 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 110095 53466 53366 115675 100282 432884 432884 3 6 13 82 188 292 0 0 971 0 0 971 0 0 0 0 0 0 434147 27732 0.99709 0.83852 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1074299 403989 670310 0 145404 86518 58886 0 0 0 0 729196 0 Operating leases payable 374233 374233 Dinner Under the Stars 21265 4350 16915 0 0 0 1329 1500 4050 0 0 21265 4350 16915 0 0 0 1329 1500 4050 6879 10036 197648 66355 46867 1 1 197648 66355 0 0 46867 113222 84426 PA 1 0 0 0 1 0 Kyle Serman PO Box 15050 Reading PA 19612 0 Kristyne Scheibeler 0 See Schedule G, Part IV, Statement 1 X 1 61907 Schedule G, Part III, Line 16 Supervise the person running the 50/50 and the related cash receipts and disbursements, as well as issue Forms W-2G at the end of the year.
