OUR MISSION

We are united in the belief that there is no greater cause then that of a child. "Glory Be to Kids" strives to make a difference in the lives of children in need.

OUR MEANS

Began to honor the memory of one friend and to help one child, today, "Glory Be to Kids" is a celebration of ALL children. It is a celebration of community and of friendship.

By combining our love of children with our love of sports (mainly softball) funds are raised through various events. Each year a different local children's charity is chosen as a recipient and all money raised is donated to them.

Become a sponsor by donating money, services, goods or even your time. We are always looking for volunteers to help out at our various events. We have many different sponsorship packages available.
