“In 2024, The Lake Creek Home Run Club supported 55 players and 2 statisticians across three teams, as well as the dedicated coaching staff. Through the tireless efforts of our volunteers, fundraising events like the Steak Dinner (parter with the Softball Home Run Club), and generous sponsorships, we provided vital enhancements to the program. Field improvements included a dugout refresh, painting of the outfield fence, addition of windscreens, and outfitting of the new batting cages. Additionally, we ensured our players had the best equipment, including varsity and sub-varsity uniforms, catcher's gear, baseballs, and other essentials. A significant increase in food expenses - rising from roughly $12,000 in 2023 to $17,000 in 2024 - underscored our commitment to providing meals for all players during travel. The increase is due to rising food costs and sub-varsity traveling more during the season. A Marketing Company was also contracted to showcase the teams. 2024 also marked the start of our Senior Project, which honors each Senior graduating the program with a personalized brick on the walkway. Looking ahead to 2025, we aim to build on these successes and continue creating an exceptional experience for our players and coaches. Goals include further field improvements with a new sound system for the Press Box and the replacement of the backstop padding, ongoing coaching development, a marketing arrangement, and continued investment in top-tier uniforms and gear. With rising food costs, we also anticipate an increase in meal expenses as we maintain our commitment to support players on the road.”
