One of TYBA’s goals has been to provide a quality but affordable instructional baseball league for the community.  Our registration fees are still among the lowest in the area.  We do not have special fund-raisers or sell raffle tickets or novelties, and we do not have a concession stand to raise funds.  In 2006, enrollment fees provided only a small percentage of the income needed to offset expenses for uniforms, equipment, postage, field maintenance, printing, insurance, trophies, professional umpires, and training for coaches and managers.  The balance of our income has always come from personal and business contributions and donations.  TYBA does not turn away any child, regardless of the family’s ability to pay.

 In 2008 it will cost over $115.00 per child to provide the TYBA experience. Each child’s “FAIR SHARE” would therefore be an additional $40.00, or $115.00 total.  For parents who can afford to pay their “FAIR SHARE,” please consider sending an additional $40.00 tax-deductible contribution, or whatever you wish to contribute, to TYBA with your registration.  Please check to see if your employer offers matching contributions!  There will be no further solicitation of FAIR SHARE contributions beyond this letter.  Support TYBA and help us continue to provide quality instructional baseball to our Center City youngsters!
