From the bottom of my heart and on behalf of every young athlete in our program – thank you!

Your generous donation to Vias RD isn't just a gift; it's a lifeline. It's the difference between a boy in the Dominican Republic dropping out of school to chase an impossible dream, and that same boy walking across a graduation stage with his diploma in hand and a future full of possibilities.

Because of your kindness, a young player is now:

Sitting in a classroom instead of wandering the streets

Learning that education and baseball can go hand‑in‑hand

Discovering that his worth isn’t measured only by his batting average

Building skills that will serve him whether he makes it to the majors or becomes a teacher, engineer, or business owner

You’ve joined something bigger than baseball. You’ve become part of a movement that says every child deserves a chance – not just at athletic glory, but at a meaningful life filled with opportunity.

In a world where 98% of Dominican boys who pursue baseball professionally never make it, you’re helping us ensure that 100% of our players have the education to thrive no matter what path life takes them.

Your impact reaches far beyond our baseball diamonds in Barahona. It touches families, communities, and generations yet to come. You’re not just changing one life – you’re helping break the cycle of poverty for entire families.

Thank you for believing in these boys. Thank you for seeing their potential beyond the baseball field. Thank you for being the hero they need.

With deepest gratitude and respect,

Brian Straley
Founder & President
Vias RD

P.S. We’ll be sharing updates on how your donation is making a difference. These boys have stories worth celebrating, and you are now part of every single one.
