WAYBA Board members, JBS officials and Worthington Regional Health Care Foundation Inc. (WRHCF) hosted a check presentation Dec. 26 at the JBS Field House to announce a $100,000 grant to WAYBA from the JBS Legacy Fund held by the foundation.
This grant is to be used by WAYBA to complete the upgrade projects currently planned at the Crailsheim baseball field in Worthington. With this grant, all upgrades are scheduled to be completed by fall, 2025, pending any significant weather/construction delays.
“We are so excited about this partnership as we have been working on this for about four years," said Jason Turner, WAYBA board chair, in a press release. “We are excited about what this project will mean to our kids in our program and our community in general.”
JBS Plant Manager Matt Altman spoke at the check presentation event.
“On behalf of JBS we are very excited to see these dollars invested in our community as quickly as they have.” Altman said. “We look forward to the future projects as they come around.”
JBS became a Legacy Partner in June 2024. With these gifted dollars to the Foundation, the JBS Legacy funds used for foundation grants are intended to be used for community amenities, focusing on youth where possible.
