Time for another well-deserved thank you!!

Today’s spotlight is on Shawna Spear for her phenomenal fundraising efforts!

Shawna and her team pulled in over $5,980 for field banners and corporate donations. She made dozens of phone calls and visits to business owners.

These funds helped pay for much needed baseball equipment, field maintenance expenses and league fees.

Cottage Grove Babe Ruth League thrives thanks to our incredible volunteers that include parents, family members, and coaches who maintain our fields, lead our fundraisers, and coach our kids.

Thank you and congratulations, Shawna!
