Pitching In: Reider Cup Committee Donation Brings New Pitching Machine For Our Jr Baysox
Hey Jr Baysox,
Please join us in thanking the Reider Cup Endowment Fund Committee for their recent generous donation to the Owen Sound Minor Baseball Association...
For those that may not be aware, The Reider Cup Endowment Fund is a component fund within the Community Foundation Grey Bruce, established by the Reider Cup event to support charitable causes in the Grey Bruce region. The annual Reider Cup golf tournament, featuring teams in a Ryder Cup-style format, raises proceeds that are channeled into this endowment fund, which then provides grants to local non-profit organizations.
About a month ago, a member of the committee for the endowment fund reached out to members of the OSMB Executive to explore how they could help support the continued growth of the league and baseball community. Over the past two seasons, we have been working hard to upgrade our old / manual pitching machines through donations and fundraising. Starting with the purchase of 1 Juggs BP1 Pitching Machine in 2024, the league was able to purchase a 2nd machine at the beginning of the 2025 season. Thanks to the generous donation from the Reider Cup Committee, OSMB has now been able to purchase a 3rd machine, that will continue to support not only our 2026 and future 9U level play and development, but the machines will also be available for use by other OSMB teams looking to elevate their practice and training / development sessions.
Owen Sound Minor Baseball is incredibly grateful to our sponsors and funding partners that help us to continue to grow and offer great opportunities for our members. Thank you, Reider Cup Endowment Committee, for helping giving our Jr Baysox players the tools they need to keep swinging for the success.
