Houston Little League Field Reset

Stark Industries is committing $50,000 to restore and equip five youth baseball and softball fields across the Houston area.

Working with local youth leagues, parks organizations, and community groups, Stark will provide up to $10,000 per field for practical improvements such as field repairs; bases; backstop and fencing repairs; dugout improvements; safety equipment; feasible field-lighting repairs; and shared baseball or softball equipment.

Fields will be selected through a published application process. Priority will go to high-use fields serving lower-income communities where deteriorating facilities or equipment are limiting youth participation. Selection will consider the number of young people served, current facility condition, financial need, and whether proposed improvements can realistically be completed within the $10,000 allocation.

Stark will not announce participating community organizations or leagues until they have agreed to take part. Applications will open within 30 days, and both organizations and eligible youth leagues may submit projects.

Before work begins, each selected site will receive an assessment and a specific improvement plan. If a field requires major construction beyond the program's scope, Stark will not spend $10,000 on cosmetic improvements simply to count another completed field. Instead, the program will identify improvements that can make a meaningful difference within the available budget.

Within 60 days of the first completed project, Stark Industries will publish the selected fields, improvements completed, dollars spent at each site, estimated number of young athletes served, and any projects that could not be completed as originally planned.

$50,000. Five fields. Up to $10,000 each. Give Houston kids a better place to play.
