ABOUT SUNSHINE BALLPARK

The Sunshine Ballpark Foundation was established in 2010 & will continue the fundraising & program development initiatives that began in 2006 with The Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation's "Playball Fredericksburg" initiative. The local Board of Trustees raised over $2.5 million from the community to build Phase I of Sunshine Ballpark & has provided resources & programs to more than 4,000 children throughout the Fredericksburg region each year.  The new Sunshine Ballpark is designed to host these programs & the exciting Center for Exploration gives children the opportunity to participate in the scientific deep sea exploration activities conducted through the Ballard Institute's Jason Project & participate in our Engineering for Kids initiative.

OUR MISSION STATEMENT

Sunshine Ballpark Foundation provides educational & physical development opportunities for disadvantaged, challenged, & able young people through programs & partnerships with law enforcement agencies, schools & community organizations.
