Welcome
Jess Neely Athletics
at Shelby Park in East Nashville
PLAY BALL!
Thanks to an extremely generous donation from the Nashville
Sounds, these
words will ring out at Shelby Park again next year. After the devastation
from the May flood, Jess Neely Athletics was left with nothing but a few
fields and a shell of a building for concessions/office. Obviously, without
the donation from the Sounds of equipment for field maintenance and the
concession stand, office equipment as well as player equipment, start-up
costs for next season would have been unaffordable. The league would likely
have folded and many children in East Nashville would not have the opportunity
to play ball.
Thanks to the Sounds, we are looking forward to a strengthened league
with a vital and important presence in the East Nashville community. We
are truly blessed to have a community leader that stepped up to the plate
to help us sustain our storied program.
The Nashville Sounds have made MAJOR donations of equipment for baseball
and for concessions -- enough to make us confident we can play ball next
season – but there is still much work to be done. The Sounds are once again
coming through for us and are offering a great opportunity for you to help
us and enjoy a wonderful night at Greer Stadium.
The August 29th Sounds game
against the New Orleans
Zephyrs is
"Jess
Neely Athletics Flood Relief Night."
By utilizing the order
form and sending it directly to the Sounds, 100% of the proceeds from
the tickets purchased ($10 each) will be donated to Jess Neely. That’s
right – all $10 of your ticket price will be given to Jess Neely. This
is a great chance to have a team or church or office outing to a Sounds
game and support Jess Neely as we rebuild from the flood. These funds will
be used to replace the flooring in our upstairs office, counter tops and
shelving, office furniture and supplies, and a HVAC system.
This is also the Sound’s last regular season game, Fan Appreciation and
autograph night.
Please spread the word and consider taking your family or group to the
game.
PLEASE NOTE: We do NOT get the money if you buy tickets through the Sounds box office without using the form. You must use the form and mail it in.
