Canadians Baseball Foundation

Published on

The start of baseball season with the Vancouver Canadians not only marks a great traditional Vancouver experience at the Scotiabank Field at Nat Bailey Stadium, but also a tradition of annual giving-back to the Vancouver Canadians Baseball Foundation (VCBF) for Town Hall Brands, a Vancouver-based marketing agency.

Returning for its fifth annual year, Leeann Froese and Andrew von Rosen, co-owners of Town Hall Brands, are back again with the $5-run initiative, in which Town Hall donates $5 to the Foundation for every run scored by the Vancouver Canadians this season.

To date, nearly $10, 000 have been raised and 50 children have received support to play baseball through the Vancouver Canadians Baseball Foundation and Town Hall Brands since, the beginning of the initiative in 2011.

“We’ve worked with Vancouver Canadians for a decade. As soon as the Foundation launched, we knew it would be important for us to be a part of it” shares von Rosen.

As long-time baseball fans and supporters of the Foundation, von Rosen and Froese started the $5-run initiative to support the VCBF’s work in providing local children in need.

This gives the youth the opportunity to play baseball through a summer mini-league.

For many of the children, this transforms into an experience of discovery, teamwork and most importantly, lifetime friendships to enhance their daily lives. Some children might even develop a new passion for the sport and want to join a local baseball team. With some baseball gear and some pro baseball cleats, kids will be ready to join a team and make some new friends. This summer mini-league is a great way to get children learning the sport and understanding the game.

Frose told the media “We’re parents, too and we want to lead other children in a healthy and active lifestyle, as much as we want for our child.

Being able to put a child on a diamond with a smile on their face is an incredibly valuable experience for both the child and us and not to mention, it helps to build community.”

Whether you’re a sports fan or not, the Town Hall Team invites you to join in cheering on the C’s to score more runs and add even more to the $5-initiative to support our community.
