When the viability of the West End Reds/TS Bulls youth baseball club near downtown Cincinnati was threatened by a lack of money, Powell Valves went to bat.
Through its William Powell Company Foundation, Powell Valves made a donation to help sustain the club, which consists of six baseball teams for boys and girls ages 4-13. Earlier this year the Cincinnati Enquirer reported the club needs a minimum of $12,000 a year for uniforms, equipment, field fees, trophies and travel, etc., in order to survive. While the Cincinnati Reds Community Fund provides a majority of the club’s support, it still was $3,000 short last year and was falling further behind this year.
