Woodpeckers Sports Fund Champions the Dreams of Cumberland County’s Young Athletes

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. — The Fayetteville Woodpeckers have announced a new initiative, the Woodpeckers Sports Fund, in collaboration with Cumberland County Schools to provide financial support for high school athletes in the local community. The fund aims to help students in the Cumberland County School District participating in fall and spring sports with a focus on fostering compassion and understanding for young athletes and the less fortunate.

Generously backed by the Fayetteville Woodpeckers’ Community Leaders Program, the Woodpeckers Sports Fund will allocate a total of $10,000 per school year to assist high school athletes in need of financial aid for sports fees, uniforms, or other related expenses. Applications for assistance will be open later this summer for the fall semester and late fall for the spring semester.

The Woodpeckers Sports Fund made its debut on Friday, May 5, during the Second Annual Jackie Robinson Showcase, an event that brought together six local Title I high school baseball teams at Segra Stadium. The Woodpeckers and the Community Leaders Program partners are committed to supporting young athletes by providing the necessary resources for their physical and mental growth, ultimately helping them become future community leaders.
