Our Story

A historic season for our boys

The Visalia Blues 12U team made history this season, finishing 34-1 and sweeping through the Pacific Southwest Regionals 6-0 to win the championship. That achievement earns our boys the honor of representing our region at the 2026 Cal Ripken 12/70' World Series, held August 5–16 at Ballparks of America in Branson, Missouri.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for these kids. We need our community's help to get all 14 players and 4 coaches to Branson.

The Trip

What your gift covers

The total cost of this experience for just the players and coaches is close to $30,000. Our team and families are working hard to raise it, but we're facing a gap of roughly $20,000. Every donation — big or small — helps close that gap.
