Fundraising in LA-MV

Los Altos-Mountain View PONY Baseball is a non-profit 501(c)3 tax exempt organization run by volunteer coaches, parents, and board members. Our costs include field rental, field maintenance, professional training, uniforms, umpires, balls, bats, helmets, catcher's gear, trophies, pictures, and insurance. In 2006 we opened the new field at Blach School, upgraded our cages and facilities, and expanded our training opportunities and clinics for our players and coaches. In 2007 the league will again host the sanctioned PONY Baseball Northern California Regional Championships in Los Altos at Rosita Field. Our success and increased visibility has also resulted in increased costs, particularly for equipment, field maintenance and upgrades.

LA-MV PONY Baseball receives no support or funding from the schools or the cities that we serve: we are completely self-supporting through registration fees and generous donations and sponsorships from families and local companies alike. As a matter of principle, we do not conduct any player fundraising activities or campaigns (e.g. candy sales). Your support is vital to this valuable community effort and keeping LA-MV PONY Baseball the finest youth baseball league in Silicon Valley.

We offer two ways for contributors to show their support: You can make a direct donation to the league, or you can sponsor a team.
