Bloomfield National Little League and Kid2pro Sports have teamed up with Roberto's kids, an organization that collects gently worn and used baseball equipment; the collected equipment is sent to children in both the US and Latin America.

Please help by donating any gently used or worn pants, shirts, hats, gloves, bats, balls, cleats, turf shoes, bases, and any other equipment.

Everyone who brings something to donate to our Opening Day Parade/Ceremony on Saturday April 14th will receive a raffle ticket to win a family four pack of Newark bears tickets for the date of their choice.

Please pass along this info to any teams that plan on coming to the league opener.  More information can be found on facebook: www.facebook.com/kid2prosports
