Friesens Corporation in Altona is supporting the local youth softball program in a big way.
Representatives from the commercial printer recently presented Altona Angels Minor Softball with a $10,000 donation towards their Dollars for Diamonds fundraising campaign.
A Friesens employee is actually a volunteer with that campaign, and says getting the chance to give back in this way in very meaningful to him.
“Volunteering is not just about giving time—it’s about being that drive for change that I want for my daughters and their friends,” says Brett Falk, U.S. sales manager at Friesens and the Dollars for Diamonds fundraising coordinator. “By investing in them, I hope to create a ripple effect of support, growth, and opportunity in the future.”
The Altona Angels program serves over 115 girls ranging in age from five to 19. Their goal is to provide youth with up-to-date equipment, safe diamonds, and top-quality facilities, says league president Rachel Wahl.
“Our organization is dedicated to providing a safe, inclusive, and empowering environment for young athletes to develop their skills, build lasting friendships, and learn valuable life lessons through the game of softball.”
It’s a project Friesens Corp. can get behind, the company said in announcing the donation.
“The values and goals of this organization align very closely with the way Friesens Corporation interact with their employee-owners and with the community as a whole, which is why it has become an important project to support and maintain.”
