We are actively promoting the Italian Baseball for the Blind (B4B) in the United States and in Lions International, and invite Lions Clubs to form a team in your respective districts.
The "New York Lions Adaptive Blind Baseball "NYLIONS-BB" is the first B4B registered in the United States and Lions International, incorporated in the State of New York as NY Fidi Lions Blind Sports League, non-profit Corporation (501C3 TIN/EIN 84-5183760) Specialty Branch of the "New York Financial District Lions Club". The Team is composed of men and women who are all Lions members with a mission to bring B4B within the blind and visually impaired communities in the United States and in countries where Lions' has a presence. The team does no ply for money, nor for self interest or personal gain, but for the simple satisfaction that they can play a game once only fit for sighted people.
LIONS INTERNATIONAL is world's largest not-for-profit NGO of volunteers founded in 1917 with over 1.4 million volunteer members aiding Blind and Visually Impaired peoples for over 100 years.
Aiding the NYLIONS-BB thrive is a labor of love that started when Alex Barrera, Braulio Thorne, Robert Weeks and Eris Skanderi reached out to Ms. Terry Paladini for support that B4B started to thrive and Don Landolphi later got involved in coaching the team to the 1st WBSC International Blind Baseball Cup in Beek, the Netherlands where as Team USA 2022 came back with a bronze medal for the United States on a match 4 x 2 again Germany. The 2nd WBSC cup is to be held in 2024 and the NYLIONS-Team is looking forward to be selected again for this competition representing team USA 2024.

WE ARE THE KEEPERS OF OUR COMMUNITIES!
It is time to wake up and Mentor a youth at risk during their most difficult times of their lives!
Join us to become a "Role Model" mentoring a young students at risk, at a school close to your home or office. No academic is involved - we are building productive citizens!
.
We volunteer with the after-school program of NYSMP (New York State Mentoring Program) founded by former NYS First Lady, Matilda Raffa Cuomo. This is a non-political program that serves the youth of today, the future generation of our country!
The problems we face today is caused by the lack of "Role Models" in the lives of those men and women during the years of growing from childhood into adulthood. It is the time most needed to build a person's character.
JOIN US AND HELP THE YOUTH IN YOUR COMMUNITY TO BECOME A PRODUCTIVE CITIZEN.
