SILENT AUCTIONAll proceeds go to Challenger
League at Bennetts Creek Little League

• To Mariners Club
• From Floyd Byrd, BCLL Challenger Manager
• Date October 14, 2008
• Re Challenger League Baseball Tax ID BCLL ID
  541604361.
• To the members of the Mariners Club,
• I recently accepted the task of coordinating and
  managing the activities for the Challenger League
  at Bennetts Creek Little League (BCLL). Our
  Challenger League is comprised of about thirty
  kids from the ages of 5 to 33. All of these
  players have some disability. The disabilities
  vary from learning disabilities to Noonans
  Syndrome to Downs Syndrome, and so on. Some of
  the players are in wheelchairs while one of our
  players is legally blind. The kids that play at
  BCLL come from all over Tidewater and even North
  Carolina as we are one of the few facilities to
  offer such a league for children with special
  needs.
• As the new manager and coach of one of the teams,
  I have established some goals that I would like
  to pursue for the benefit of the players. Some of
  the goals are
• Remodel the dugouts to make them wheelchair
  accessible
• Purchase some flat bases that are wheelchair
  friendly
• Purchase new, upgraded uniforms for all of the
  players
• Purchase gates to enclose our fence so the kids
  cannot run off the field
• Assist the parents with travel expenses to our
  annual national jamboree tournament
• My goal is to make the league as realistic as
  possible for all of the players. We dont keep
  score or outs during the game. We simply let
  everyone have a chance to get on the field and
  enjoy the sport as most other young children do.

  gets for helping them have fun.
