As a not-for-profit organization the mission of the BNBA is to provide an organized affordable baseball program for youth ages five to eighteen in the Bloomington-Normal area. The management of costs associated with operating the program is accomplished through participation fees, private sponsorships, facility access through local communities, schools and businesses, and with the assistance of volunteers that include board members, coaches, parents, and players associated with the program. Our organization relies heavily on the generosity and cooperation of these local businesses, governments, and school districts. All of us that have been, are, and will be a part of BNBA would like to sincerely thank the many Sponsors, Donors, and volunteers for all their support. Words can't explain the importance of the support we receive, whether from local, state, or National sources. We especially appreciate local businesses and
other organizations for their support of the youth of Bloomington/Normal despite the difficulty many of you have faced since the
Covid Pandemic. Despite the hardship, you understand the importance of our organization, and others like it, is to our youth.
Please, whether you are now or have in the past, consider joining our cause to provide all youth the opportunity to play baseball regardless of their skill level, or financial status. With your support you can help us realize our end goal, and that is to provide each player the opportunity to enhance their baseball skills and knowledge, instill sportsmanship and respect, establish lasting friendships, and to ensure that the overall BNBA experience will be a positive influence each player will carry into all areas of life beyond the field.
