Rhode Island Charity Baseball is beginning to register teams for the 2009 season
The League: Here’s the story, Rhode Island Charity Baseball was started in 2005, and has thus far donated around $3,500 to charity. The main goal of RICB is to empower philanthropic young adults, while being involved in and playing a game that we all love. Each year the winner of the league chooses a local charity to donate all of the generated funds.
