The Greater Daytona Beach Senior Softball Association is renting Jackie Robinson Stadium for a day to help the U11 Ormond Beach Spikes raise funds to attend a tournament in Cooperstown, New York in Summer 2026. The cost for the trip is $60,000.
This is the first fundraising effort for the Ormond Beach Youth Baseball and Softball Association team. According to a press release, GDBSSA will donate the first check for $300 and will sponsor for a 50/50 split the pot and silent auction at the fundraiser, to take place at the stadium from 1-6 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 17. The public is invited to attend. There is no admission fee.
At the stadium, the GDBSSA will play softball along with a home run derby contest. The league has two divisions: a junior league for those 60 and up, and one for those 70 and up. The divisions are open to the community for anyone that wants to sign up. The season starts in January 2025. Visit gdbssa.com.
Further fundraising efforts will include working the concession stands at the Ormond Beach recreation fields during any tournaments, car washes, silent auctions and more.
