The Power of Narrative: Why Nom Profit is Committed to Giving Back
The League of YES: Transforming Lives Through Baseball
At NOM Media, we believe in the power of storytelling to make a real impact. That's why we're thrilled to announce The League of YES as our very first NOM Profit partner! Our team has created a professional video package for this extraordinary organization that provides inclusive baseball programs for individuals of all abilities, regardless of their challenges or limitations.
A Mission Built On Inclusion
The League of YES stands on a simple yet powerful premise: everyone deserves the chance to play baseball. In a world where children with disabilities often find themselves on the sidelines, this organization has created a safe, supportive environment where all players can experience the joy of America's favorite pastime.
Founded by Kristine Fitzpatrick in 2010, The League of YES has grown from a modest program with just 30 players into a vibrant community serving hundreds of participants. What makes this possible is their network of over 1,000 dedicated volunteers each season who serve as "buddies" to players, ensuring everyone can participate safely and joyfully.
As Fitzpatrick herself explains, "The program is about kids getting out in the sun and getting some exercise while building confidence and making new friendships." This simple philosophy drives everything the organization does—creating opportunities for physical activity, social connection, and personal development.
The Impact Goes Beyond Baseball
While baseball serves as the central activity, the benefits of The League of YES extend far beyond the diamond. For participants, the program offers:
Physical benefits: Regular exercise and development of motor skills
Social growth: Forming friendships with buddies and other players
Confidence building: Learning new skills in a supportive environment
Community belonging: Being part of a team and feeling accepted
Joy and fulfillment: Experiencing the simple pleasure of play
For volunteers, the rewards are equally meaningful. Spending time as a buddy creates lasting connections and offers a fresh perspective on ability, inclusion, and what's truly important in life. Many volunteers report that their experience with The League of YES has been life-changing, giving them a new appreciation for the resilience and determination of the players they support.
How You Can Make a Difference
The League of YES needs YOUR support to continue growing and serving their community. Here are three ways you can get involved:
1. Volunteer as a Buddy
Buddies are the backbone of The League of YES, providing one-on-one support to players during games. Each buddy is paired with a player to assist them throughout the game, ensuring they can participate fully and safely.
The best part? No baseball experience is necessary! If you can spare a few hours on a weekend, you can make a profound difference in a player's life. Buddies receive training and guidance, so all you need is enthusiasm and a willingness to help.
2. Register a Player
The League of YES welcomes players of all abilities. If you know someone who might benefit from this program, spring registration is now open. The organization creates an accepting environment where players can develop at their own pace and enjoy the game without pressure or judgment.
Their philosophy of "all abilities welcome" means that regardless of physical or developmental challenges, there's a place for everyone on the field. Each player receives the support they need to participate meaningfully in the game.

3. Make a Donation
Financial support allows The League of YES to provide quality equipment, maintain playing fields, and keep the program accessible to all families regardless of their financial situation. Even small donations can make a significant impact on this life-changing program.
As they continue rebuilding after COVID-19, your contribution can help ensure the sustainability and growth of this vital community resource. Just a few hours of your time or a modest donation can create memories that last a lifetime for these players and their families.

The League of YES is just the beginning of our commitment to supporting deserving non-profit organizations. Each month, we're donating a professional video production package valued at $3,000 through our NOM Profit initiative.
Do you know a non-profit that deserves professional video content to help tell their story and expand their impact? We want to hear from you! These organizations often do incredible work but lack the resources to create high-quality video content that effectively communicates their mission.
