CBS Kiwanis Minor Baseball has been named one of 15 recipients of the 2025 Jays Care Field of Dreams grant.
The funding was announced prior to Sunday’s Blue Jays’ game on Sportsnet—with CBS being the only organization in Newfoundland and Labrador selected.
The Jim Crosbie Field will receive a portion of the $1.5 million in total funding aimed at enhancing and refurbishing fields with the goal of making baseball more accessible for local youth.

“This is a big day for baseball in CBS,” said Todd Powell, president of CBS Kiwanis Minor Baseball.
He tells VOCM News, this funding means they can make the field accessible for everyone, including athletes in the Challenger Baseball program. Powell adds that they are not just building a ballfield—but building a community space where all kids can play and grow.
Since its launch, the program has supported 232 projects nationwide, with more than $20 million invested.
