The Smith Delso Baseball Foundation is excited to announce the Chris Baker Memorial Leadership Scholarship. We have partnered with Jared Baker and his fiancée Kaitlyn Dawson to create this scholarship in honor of Jared's father. Chris was one of the foundation's founding donors and made it possible to carry out our mission.
The purpose of this scholarship is to minimize the financial burden associated with playing travel baseball by providing financial support to young athletes and their families. The scholarship will help cover all expenses associated with playing summer travel ball, including: team fees, uniforms, equipment, and travel costs.
Our hope is that this scholarship not only eases the financial burden for families, but also carries forward the values that Chris lived by—leadership, commitment, hard work, selflessness, and love for the game. Chris always made it a point to support Jared and all of his teammates, and we know he would be proud to see young athletes chasing their dreams.
If you would like to make a tax-deductible donation toward the scholarship, visit our website or contact Dylan Delso at 918-402-7444. Please feel free to share this post! It is our goal to support as many young players as we possibly can!
