Given that this is our only fundraiser for the entire school year, your donation will make a great impact to our school. All books must be turned in by Friday, March 12th if you want to be entered to win the $10,000 AMEX gift card. If you would like purchase additional books, please contact hsafundraising@assumptionnj.org.
Our Online Giving Campaign is also available if you would like to make a tax-deductible donation as well. A link can be found on the main page of the school’s website by clicking the “GIVING” button or following the link here (https://assumptionparish.org/assumption-school-online-giving-campaign)

MAALL is confident that we will be able to provide a SAFE environment for our kids this spring season and will follow every precaution possible, similar to how we ran a safe but fun summer league in 2020 with more than 125 players. As an extra precaution, we have decided to start the season later in April this year to allow for kids to practice and play OUTDOORS ONLY.
*As with last season, if baseball is not permitted refunds will be issued.
