Our Crowdfunding Groups
Dear fans and supporters of Ball State Softball,
THANK YOU! Because of your generous donations and support, we arrived just over our goal of $3,000 dollars on our first ever crowd funding event. Each dollar aids our mission in enhancing the student athlete experience by providing gear, equipment, tools, and bonding activities for our athletes, and I want to sincerely thank you for choosing to give to our cause! As we prepare and work towards building a championship caliber team and culture, every piece of the puzzle matters and that includes you! We couldn't have done this without you and my staff and players are extremely grateful!
I look forward to seeing you in the stands this Spring cheering on your favorite Cardinals!
GO CARDS! CHIRP CHIRP!
With gratitude and excitement,
Helen Pena

Pitchers use various spin development tools to maximize their spin efficiencies. Certain tools focus on spin axis while others focus on amount of rotation. Both help pitchers to create better movement on the ball and help feel their fingers more.
A healthy rotation of practice balls help to ensure that we are getting the correct feedback during offensive practices. Because of their wear and tear, some need to be replaced yearly.
We use tees daily for offensive warm up. This donation will help us to get more tees so that we can help more efficient rotation and proper warm ups for practices and games.
Between practices and games, quality game balls are a must.
We will have 5 weekends straight before conference starts where we will be on the road. This donation will help our overall goal in having two team bonding events during their Spring break, which is our last trip before we open up for conference.
This will help pitchers tremendously for accuracy purposes for warm ups and for bullpens. We love to use catchers but when we can give them a break and still get a good work out in, then that's a major plus!
Screens go through wear and tear throughout the years. We are looking to replace 2-3 screens that also come with a protective cover to help keep our staff and student athletes safe!
THIS IS THE ULTIMATE GIFT! Game day sponsorship helps us to outfit every athlete with the best tools and gear possible! Items like uniforms, bats, gloves, and protective gear, etc.! By selecting this level, we will create a plaque for a student-athletes’ locker with your name that will last for a full year!
