Venezuelan Baseball Federation launches fund to support coaches, umpires, scorers across nation
02/06/2020
Baseball is the national sport of the South American country, and the new fund aims to help the Venezuelan baseball community amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Venezuelan Baseball Federation (FEVEBEISBOL, Federación Venezolana de Béisbol) has launched a campaign to support baseball coaches, umpires and official scorers around the country in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Baseball is the top sport in Venezuela, and the pandemic has forced the suspension of the game, along with other sports, across the nation.

FEVEBEISBOL will prepare a protocol to keep the distribution of the donations received as transparent as possible.

All the coaches, umpires and official scorers will have to be registered with FEVEBEISBOL and demonstrate that they contribute to entities that are also registered with the Federation.

The support initiative is part of the development project known as Sembrando Beisbol (growing baseball).
