Description

The Columbia Clippers 12u baseball team based out of Crellin Park, Chatham NY is managed and coached by 5 volunteer coaches from Columbia County. We are teachers, coaches, first responders, volunteers and most important fathers of student athletes. We have taken this group of young men from the ages of 8-9 up through the age of 13 to date and begun the process of molding them into successful students and athletes, to one day hopefully give back to society themselves. We coach them to play baseball and be better young men. Our team plays at Crellin Park in Chatham; as well as all throughout upstate NY. Currently the team or field does not have an AED on site. When we travel, most fields do not have one. Following the scene at the Bills vs Bengals game, it became evident that we need to take more action to be prepared for a horrible situation should it happen to our teams. We are trying to raise funds to purchase an AED to protect our young boys.
