GRAND SLAM, $5000 donation! Dark Water does some amazing things! Thank you April and Mark!

Dark Water Properties LLC recognizes and appreciates the sacrifices made every day by our nation's active-duty military personnel and veterans. Our "Fear Nothing" motto reflects the belief that no challenge is too great to overcome, no adversary too strong, and that a single individual can make a meaningful difference. Freedom is not free. It often requires tremendous dedication, courage, and, at times, the ultimate sacrifice. Dark Water Properties LLC is proud to support the men and women of our armed forces as they return home and continue serving their communities.

Mark and April Patrizia understand the importance of service and sacrifice and want our military members and veterans to know they have our respect, gratitude, and support. While Dark Water Properties LLC is not a charitable organization, it serves as an expression of appreciation and a vehicle for making a positive impact in communities both locally and across the nation. We believe that even the smallest beginnings can create lasting change and that meaningful contributions, no matter their size, can have a profound long-term impact on the lives of others.

These fields aren’t just for baseball and softball and that’s the purpose. Today JSW gym class crushed some kickball on the field!

Tournaments unfortunately got cancelled due to unplayable conditions elsewhere. Luckily, Built Better Fields held the water and wanted to be played on. Thanks to hard working moms and dads…all three active fields saw action today, enjoyed sunshine, and sang the Star Spangled Banner with some competition and friendship.
