Bennington, VT - The Bank of Bennington Foundation is proud to announce a $50,000 donation toward the construction of a year-round indoor Little League facility in Bennington.

"Youth sports is an area The Bank of Bennington finds great value in supporting. It fosters teamwork, character, and athleticism, all of which are essential for developing healthier young people," said Jim Brown, President of The Bank of Bennington.

Now in its 66th year of offering youth baseball programs, Bennington Little League is excited to expand its offerings to local kids, allowing them to hone their skills and foster a lifelong love of America's pastime.

“Bennington Little League is excited, thanks in part to The Bank of Bennington, to share an update on our highly anticipated indoor training facility. We expect to use this new addition to our program as early as February,” said Geoff Metcalfe, Bennington Little League Board President. Metcalfe further explained that the complex, made possible by the community's support and The Bank of Bennington's donation, would be available for various community uses.

The building will consist of 4000 square feet of wide open, turfed space, housing 3 net-style cages for batting and pitching. All of the cages are retractable, allowing a large room that can be used for baseball activities, as well as other sports and activities. This versatility opens up a world of possibilities for the community.

The capital campaign is still ongoing, and we invite the public to join us in making this dream a reality. Visit benningtonlittleleague.com to learn more and be a part of this exciting project.
