Looking for donations

elmalo · Feb 15, 2011

Yesterday, I was talking to one of the directors of the youth baseball league in Cartagena Colombia. He was telling me how they dont have much money and are in desperate need of equipment. Bats, balls, gloves cleats, anything. I told him I could see what I could do. I have a lot of used equipment from over the years. I am trying to collect as much stuff as possible to bring down there the next time I go there. If any of you have anything that you wish to donate it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

He told me that they especially need balls. They dont have to be new.

I think they're playing baseball, not ping-pong.

Thank you for you response and your offer. The problem is that shipping to Colombia is rediculous. What I am planning to do is fill up a couple of hockey bags with as much stuff as I can and bring the stuff down there in the summer. The man I talked to lives in Cartagena, which is about an hour from Barranquilla, where my wife lives. He is going to come and pick the stuff up. I will have to look into how much it costs to ship bats. I thank you for your generous offer and I will get back to you when I have more info.
Thank you.

How many do you have? I will see how much the shipping is and see if I have the money. The problem is that I dont really have a whole lot of spare cash and Im do not work for a charity. But I have seen first hand what these kids have to work with and I want to help them out if I can. Thank you for the offer!
Being that your name is Yankees1218, would you happen to be in the Tri State area?

Yankees1218 · Feb 15, 2011

I do live in the tri-state.
The amount of baseballs.... At least in the teens, probably 20-30+... I could try and pack as many as i could into a flat rate box to get them to you, but i am in the same situation with spare cash....
