Mission Statement:
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
In 2011, our group became a non-profit foundation and secured a lease from the city to take over
responsibility of the new 6000 sq. ft. batting cage facility. By leasing the batting cage, we took over
responsibility of power bills, maintenance of the building's exterior and interior and the responsibility for
scheduling the use of the facility while providing safety training to those using the batting cage. We soon
realized the batting cage would need to be a priority for us to keep up with maintenance issues and to
upgrade the facility as financially feasible. We have the fortunate "problem" of having to continually
repair equipment that is worn out from the large number of kids using the facility year-round.
The Astoria Baseball Foundation
was formed in 2010 by a group of
concerned citizens to assist the
high school baseball program in
raising funds to aid the team in
hopes of earning another state
championship. We helped with
field improvements, assisted in
completing the new batting cage
facility and helped fund the
summer baseball program. Our
original mission was to support
and maintain Astoria’s youth
baseball program while improving
outdoor facilities to increase
activities for our entire community.
We have recently made improvements at Aiken field including a drainage system to help keep the field
playable and are near completion of a new terraced seating area with a 30-foot net backstop for better
viewing and safety for fans.
FUNDRAISING EVENTS
We have a yearly membership drive to invite those wishing to help us by
contributing to our program once a year and also provide instructional
camps to our youth.
We would like to thank our existing members and the many volunteers that
have assisted us! If you would be interested in helping our group, please
feel free to call or email us!
