OVER THE PAST DECADE, THE CLUB HAS MORE THAN DOUBLED THE NUMBER OF YOUTH SERVED. WBC PROVIDES ITS MEMBERS ACCESS TO FIRST RATE TRAINING AND PLAYING FACILITIES. DURING 2023, THE WBC SERVED MORE THAN 175 YOUTH FROM MORE THAN 40 DIFFERENT CITIES IN THE METRO DETROIT AREA. THE CLUB BENEFITS YOUTH FROM EVERY ETHNICITY AND SOCIOECONOMIC BACKGROUND. SEVERAL COME FROM LOWER INCOME HOMES ($35,000 FOR FAMILY OF 5). WBC HAS NEVER TURNED A PLAYER AWAY FOR FINANCIAL CIRCUMSTANCES; FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS GIVEN AS NEEDED TO THOSE MEMBERS WHO ARE EXERIENCING A FINANCIAL HARDSHIP AND ARE NOT ABLE TO FULLY COVER THE TEAM FEE AND/OR PRACTICE/ TEAM ACTIVITY COSTS. IN 2023, WBC PROVIDED OVER $100,000 IN TRAINING FOR PROGRAM. WBC HAS ACCOMPLISHED SO MUCH OVER THE PAST 12 YEARS: 5 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS, 70 PLUS PLAYERS WHO HAVE GONE ON TO BE STUDENT-ATHLETES AT THE COLLEGIATE LEVEL INCLUDING SOME WHO WERE THE FIRST-EVER IN THEIR FAMILIES TO ATTEND COLLEGE. FIVE OF OUR PLAYERS WERE DRAFTED TO PLAY PRO BASEBALL. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, OVER 400 YOUTH HAVE GROWN PHYSICALLY, INTELLECTUALLY AND DEVELOPED MORAL COMPASSES, BECAUSE OF THE GREAT WORK AND ROLE MODELING OF OUR COACHES, VOLUNTEERS AND FAMILIES. MANY OF THESE STUDENT-ATHLETES WERE ABLE TO OBTAIN COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS, DUE IN PART TO THEIR PARTICIPATION IN THE CLUB. DURING 2023, WBC CONTINUED TO INTERACT WITH AND ASSIST OTHER BASEBALL-RELATED NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS TO STRENGTHEN THEIR PROGRAMS AND ATTRACT MORE YOUTH TO THE SPORT OF BASEBALL. ALL 3 OF OUR BOARD MEMBERS ARE RESPECTED COMMUNITY LEADERS. OUR CURRENT BOARD VICE-PRESIDENT IS A TEACHER AND A MICHIGAN BASEBALL HALL OF FAMER. OUR OTHER 2 BOARD MEMBERS ARE HIGHLY SKILLED BASEBALL INSTRUCTORS WHO ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT THE GAME. THEY ALL ARE INTERESTED IN SEEING YOUNG PEOPLE LEARN LIFE-LESSONS, GAIN CONFIDENCE AND GROW AS PEOPLE OF CHARACTER THROUGH THEIR EXPERIENCES WITH THE CLUB. GOING FORWARD, THE WBC HAS PLANS TO EXPAND ITS FUNDRAISING EFFORTS AS WELL AS ITS BASE OF DONORS. ONE OF THE DIRECTORS HAS PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE IN FUNDRAISING AND MARKETING AND HAS DEDICATED A GOOD PORTION OF HIS TIME TO WORK ON FUNDRAISING FOR THE CLUB, EXPANDING AND DIVERSIFYING DONOR BASE. PRIOR TO COVID, THE CLUB RAN A HUGELY SUCCESSFUL AUCTION WHICH INCREASED OUR VOLUNTEER AND DONOR BASE. OUR GOAL FOR THE FUTURE WOULD BE TO BRING BACK THE AUCTION. ADDITIONALLY, THE WBC HAS FORMED AN ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO ASSIST WITH EXPANDING THE DONOR BASE BUT ALSO TO SHARE THEIR EXPERTISE AND PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL ADVICE ON HOW WE CAN HIT ALL OF OUR BENCH MARKS TO BEING THE BEST NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION WE CAN BE. IN CLOSING, SINCE THE CLUB BEGAN IN 2011, WE HAVE GROWN SUBSTANTIALLY, WHICH HAS ALLOWED US TO IMPACT SO MANY FAMILIES IN THE COMMUNITY. WBC HAS GIVEN YOUNG PEOPLE AN OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY BASEBALL AND GO ON TO COLLEGE. WE TRY OUR BEST TO GIVE PLAYERS AND THEIR FAMILIES A GREAT EXPERIENCE AND IN TURN, WE SEE OUR PLAYERS GO ON AND MAKE A POSITIVE IMPACT IN ANY FUTURE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH THEY COME IN CONTACT.
