​
Your support is greatly needed and will help underwrite the next chapter of Greek sporting glory. The Hellas Baseball Softball Federation (HBSF) receives an annual grant of approximately 12,000€/$13,000 from the Greek Government which covers WBSC Europe membership fees and some of its administrative expenses. A significant amount of additional funding is needed to cover the cost of our coaches and athletes to compete in 2025 as well as the cost of new, elite competition essentials for our athletes.
#1 DONATE THROUGH GOFUNDME
Help us raise $66,000 to send the HNST athletes, coaches, and athletic trainer to compete in the 2025 Women's European Championships in Prague, Czechia and the 2025 Canada Cup in Surrey, BC Canada.
