Fundraising
The Lady Raider Diamond Club supports four Reynoldsburg school softball teams. 7th & 8th grade, Junior Varsity & Varsity and five softball fields. Additionally, softball in Reynoldsburg is a ‘club’ sport at the Junior High level, which means all 7th and 8th grade teams are fully funded by parents, volunteers and community members through the LRDC.
A few of the items we raise money for include the following:
- Busses for players to and from away games
- Hiring & payment of umpires
- Field maintenance & equipment
- Practice equipment
- Team uniforms
- Meeting yearly operating expenses & planning for the future of the softball program
Our various programs and initiatives of how we raise money is listed below:
We offer sponsorship of advertising banners which will be displayed on the outfield fence throughout the spring, summer and fall seasons at the Summit Road Varsity softball field.
Your banner purchase and sponsorship will help provide funding for all of the items listed above and much more.
Sponsors will receive a framed team picture from the current year with our sincere thanks to proudly display in your place of business.
Some of our current sponsors are businesses you all know! Thanks to these generous sponsors, we raised money for new equipment, field renovations, and many other things. We have many more spots on our fence to fill, so don’t miss out on a chance to help a good cause and show your support!

Our varsity field has a great concessions house where we offer food for parents, fans, officials, and the teams. Our sales over the spring season help boost our funds and cover a wide variety of expenses. We always try to keep our costs low and offer a fair price on our items.
We rely on parent volunteers to help run the operation for each home game, including tri-way games and other events. Without our volunteers, it would be impossible to handle the sales and distribution. A board member will be present to help get concessions set up, check in on volunteers during the event, and reconcile the cash box at the end of the event.
Our signup sheet will soon be online! When it’s available, Parents can visit https://reynoldsburgsoftball.com/signup/ to sign up! We thank you all in advance!

2023 was our second year for partnering with with Jo Jo’s Sweet Treats, and thanks to Jo Jo’s we were able to raise over $600 to augment our program!
Students from all teams will be expected to help generate sales through word-of-mouth, social media, and personal contacts. No door-to-door sales will be necessary (unless you’d like to!).
A flyer will be posted here and also sent home with players explaining how to generate sales, how to order, and how to pay.
Remember: Pickup for orders will be from Jo Jo’s directly and will occur on April 8th!
Please visit their site and show them you appreciate their willingness to support softball in Reynoldsburg!
