We live in a city that does not have a lot of low-cost activities for young people and families to enjoy. The Fresno Grizzlies offer exceptional family entertainment that is affordable and fun.

If for some reason the Grizzlies go away, what are all of these kids who are going to games going to do with their free time? In my line of work, I see the bad side of what happens when kids do not have wholesome things to do.

The professional baseball team in Fresno offers an important alternative to street life for our kids and for the sake of everyone’s safety I can assure you we need to keep this activity available and keep our young people going.

I’m sure those involved understand this and will find an answer so our kids can continue to see the Grizzlies play in Fresno.
