Buddy Ball
Buddy Ball is an organization run through the Herndon Optimist Youth Baseball League. It pairs up young children with physical or mental disabilities with high-school age student volunteers, and once a week they get together to play baseball. While the league is run out of Herndon, VA, it is open to anyone within the Northern Virginia or Washington DC metro area. This league gives children who would not normally have the opportunity the chance to participate in organized sports. It is also a very rewarding experience for the families and volunteers- everyone looks forward to it each year. Network Depot is proud to be a sponsor of Buddy Ball for the past ten years, as well as have one of our employees manage the league.
