Hillsboro Hops Fund Awards $125,950 in Grants for Third Consecutive Year

There were a record number of applicants in the sixth year of the Hillsboro Hops Fund Grant Program. 52 different softball and baseball organizations in the greater Washington County area applied and were awarded grants totaling $125,950 to go towards youth baseball and softball opportunities. Funding goes towards a variety of needs, but not limited to registration costs, equipment, uniforms and field maintenance.

Since 2013, the Hillsboro Hops have contributed over $1,700,000 to local youth sports organizations, Dream Big scholars and community partners. “We are thrilled to see this program continue to expand in its fifth year. It is important for us to help grow the game and keep the sport we know and love accessible to our youth athletes”, said Hops Senior Director of Community Engagement, Hannah August. “Seeing the number of applications increasing each year shows how important it is for us to continue supporting these programs as they welcome new athletes into their organizations.”
