What Larks Community Fund does
Mission
The Larks Community Fund will develop programs to make a positive difference in bismarck, nd and the surrounding community. We believe in using fun to make a difference and strive to make an impact in our community through sports, specifically baseball and softball. We believe that sports have the ability to change lives for the better by teaching players teamwork, perseverance, failure and most importantly, how to have fun. Having fun is critical to the preservation of physical, mental and emotional stability of our youth. Using baseball and softball as our platform, we will channel community resources for the healthy development of future generations. We are dedicated to promoting health and athletic initiatives while focusing on experiential opportunities, developing community programs and improving facilities. We strive to use fun to make a difference.
