        <ExplanationTxt>the primary exempt purpose of our organization is providing Education and Development opportunities for girls ages 15 and under while participating in the sport of softball. Each year Stoneham Youth Softball conducts educational programs in the local community. These programs educate the general public about the game of Softball, its traditions, and the core values and skills which the game develops and promotes. We organize and run a softball league annually in the spring, summer, and fall months. Most years, we award at minimum 1 scholarship to a Stoneham Massachusetts resident for the purposes of furthering their education at an institute of higher learning. Stoneham Youth Softball provides the opportunity for girls to grow and develop their skills and attitudes in the areas of teamwork, good sportsmanship, spirit, cooperation, and responsibility. The skills developed by girls participating in Stoneham Youth Softball programs are not only core to the sport of Softball; they are also core to personal development and are skills which benefit participants of our program later in life when they become productive adult members of society. It is important to note that Stoneham Youth Softball is run completely by volunteers. no Trustee, Director, Officer, or Volunteer has ever been compensated, since the inception of the Organization. This allows our Organization to offer programs a a lower subsidized cost. Occasionally we offer some programs free of charge. This allows many youth girls to participate in our program, where, if our costs were higher they would not be able to.
