Support the Cudas

It is that time of year again! Golf Tournament time! The 4th Annual RBI Cudas Golf Tournament is October 11th at Hidden Lakes Golf Club. Now more than ever the baseball team needs support. I am sure many of you have read about the challenges the city is facing at the Sports Complex.(I have some links at the end of this post if you would like to check it out.) 

So to put it quite simply, the teams using the sports complex need to be self sufficient. Baseball has always done a pretty good job, we maintain our own field,(with volunteers) we have purchased and secured our own storage at the baseball field, replaced water fountains in the dugouts (that did not work for two years) and now we are replacing the batting cages and bullpens with state of the art covered and lighted facilities. There is no facility in the area for our boys to hit or pitch, there was one in Port Orange that has closed and the next closest is in Ormond Beach.

So in addition to our normal operating expenses, baseballs, uniforms, equipment and scholarships we now have construction expenses. The proceeds from this golf tournament go directly to that effort as well as the scholarship fund. In three years the RBI Cudas have given nearly $10,000 in scholarships to NSBHS graduating seniors.

So, I am asking for your help. Do you golf? Can you or your business be a sponsor? Would you donate a silent auction item or a door prize? If you can help us please contact me at info@newsmyrnabeachmom.com or at info@rbicudas.org. You can also contact Robert Schwab at Hidden Lakes Golf Club at 386-314-1909.

This is a great way to showcase your business in a positive light and support the kids!

Thank you!

R.B.I. Cudas River Run/Walk 5K

Speaking of Baseball (we were speaking of it I think), the R.B.I. Cudas Baseball Association is holding a 5K Run/Walk to support their youth baseball programs and scholarship fund.

The R.B.I. Cudas is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization that supports local youth baseball, acts as the booster club for the New Smyrna Beach High School Baseball team and offers scholarships to graduating seniors who exhibit good grades, sportsmanship and support their community. Five 2012 graduates each received scholarships this year. $2500.00 was awarded the first year!

The R.B.I. Cudas rely on a couple of fundraisers a year, a spring golf tournament, a sponsor drive in the winter, a rummage sale and now a fall 5K.

If you are a business and would like to support your local athletes you can grab a Sponsor Packet.

If you would like to run here is a Registration Form.

Online Registration is also available.

If you need more information or would like to showcase your business at the event (vendor booths are only $25.00) contact the Cudas at info@rbicudas.org.

Support your local athletes!

Cudas Baseball

So is anyone in town following high school baseball this weekend? They will play in the State Semifinals this Saturday in Port St. Lucie. If you cannot go you can follow the updates on the R.B.I. Cudas Facebook Page.

If they win on Saturday you can watch them in the finals on Sunday afternoon on Brighthouse.

If you haven't been keeping up with all the news check out the News Page on the R.B.I. Cudas website. All the articles and news is on that page. Good stuff!

The R.B.I. Cudas is the Booster Club for the High School baseball program, they raise money to supplement the meager budget that high school athletics is given these days. They help attract quality coaches, buy equipment, help pay for the fields (yes the city charges us to use the field at NSB Sports Complex), operate the concession, find sponsors and all sorts of other crazy things. The R.B.I Cudas also operates the feeder team for younger kids wanting to play high school baseball. If you have a child in elementary school or middle school that is interested in playing baseball in New Smyrna Beach head over to this page and sign up to get email updates on the program.

If you are a business and are interested in sponsoring the Cudas, you can email them. Someone (probably me) will get back to you within 24 hours. Now is a GREAT time to get your name on one of our banners, support our 5K run in October or sponsor a player. You can check out some of the current Cuda Baseball Sponsors here.

Thanks for reading and Go Cudas!!
