EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR UPDATE AND HOF DONATIONS

The Indiana Baseball Hall of Fame in Jasper, Indiana is undergoing the third expansion since its inception. Hall of Fame Director Ray Howard has raised $180,000 through private funds to help facilitate this endeavor, but we are still in need of raising $50,000 to ensure the project can break ground and have the necessary space for the future. The Indiana High School Baseball Coaches Association has been assisting with the fundraising arm and wants to elicit the support of all high school baseball programs in Indiana. This newsletter includes a list of all the current Hall of Famers housed in the Jasper facility. The IBHOF ( http:// www.indbaseballhalloffame.org ) also contains state championship team memorabilia; North – South photos and MVP’s; the high school baseball player of the year awards; and other items of relevance to all levels of baseball in Indi- ana. It would be safe to say that almost every high school in Indiana has a connection to some part of the hall of fame. Our desire is to ask each high school baseball program to consider a small donation to the IBHOF. Based on the number of schools that play the sport each spring, a $50 donation from each high school would translate into approximately $20,000 to donate to the IBHOF and a $100 donation from each high school would translate into approximately $40,000 to donate to the IBHOF. There have been a few schools contribute already and we want to say ‘Thank You!’ For all others, we have a couple of options for contributions. The state clinic registration form has a line item where you can donate at the same time as coaches register for the clinic. A second option is the online link to the GoFundMe account https://www.gofundme.com/in-baseball-hof-expansion. A third option is to send the donation directly to Ray Howard at the IBHOF (checks payable to IBHOF; 1436 Leopold Street; Jasper, IN 47546. We are encouraging every school to give their best gift. Whether it is from the athletic department; baseball team; base- ball booster club; or athletic booster club, we appreciate your support with this fundraising opportunity. If you have questions about this project; would like further information; or want to provide a major gift you may contact IHSBCA Executive Director Brian Abbott (260-358-7310) or Ray Howard (812-630-2412). Thanks for your time and consideration in this matter, Brian Abbott IHSBCA Executive Director [email protected]

ASSISTANT COACH AWARDS

Head Coaches—help us recognize your assistants for all their dedication and years of service. If you have an assistant coach who is in his 5-10-15-20th year of coaching, please send the coaches name and years of service to Coach Dudley so that we can recognize him at the State Clinic in January.
