The Jordan Vogel Memorial Fund recently donated $1,000 to the Rome Baseball Community Fund in support of the Rome Hardball Park Campaign!
With Phase I now underway, new seating areas are being constructed to create a better, more comfortable experience for athletes, families, and fans. The campaign will then move into Phase II—a new net backstop designed to improve safety and visibility at the park.
We are grateful to the Jordan Vogel Memorial Fund for honoring Jordan’s memory through a gift that will help make a lasting impact at Rome Hardball Park. ❤️⚾
Even better, gifts to the Rome Baseball Community Fund during August and September are being matched by an anonymous donor, up to $10,000, helping community support go even further.

🚧 We Broke Ground at Rome Hardball Park! ⚾️

Phase I of the Rome Baseball Community Fund’s Rome Hardball Park Campaign is officially underway — new seating areas are now under construction, bringing us one step closer to a better, more comfortable experience for our athletes, families, and fans.

Next up: Phase II — a brand‑new net backstop to improve safety and visibility at the park. We’re already on our way, and you can help keep the momentum going.

💥 Special Match Opportunity!
An anonymous donor will match all gifts made in August and September up to $10,000. Your donation goes twice as far toward building the future of Rome baseball.

Let’s knock this campaign out of the park. Donate, share, and help us keep Rome Hardball Park growing strong.
