Field of Dreams an opportunity for municipalities

To play is to learn

How about a grant for your baseball field.

Baseball fields and other sports facilities are classrooms for children. Children should be proud of the places they play while having the opportunity to learn life skills and participate in an important stage in their socialization. Field Of Dreams is Jays Care’s grant program for infrastructure dedicated to youth life skills development and physical activity.

. The Field Of Dreams program provides funds to design, renovate and build safe spaces for children and youth to play baseball, develop life skills, and learn from positive role models. Over the past five years, Jays Care has committed over $ 8 million to 66 infrastructure projects across Canada.
