Officials announce $50,000 in state funds for Eatontown baseball and softball
Summary
Council and a baseball representative announced a $50,000 allocation in the state budget for Eatontown baseball and softball during a recognition ceremony for the River Bandits' 2026 championship.
Town officials and youth‑sports leaders used a council recognition to announce a $50,000 state budget allocation for Eatontown baseball and softball programs.
At the recognition event for the River Bandits’ 2026 interleague championship, a baseball representative said, "after a lot of advocacy on my part and help from Bingo Paul, Margie Donlin, and Louie Ann Peter Paul, we were able to secure 50,000 in the state budget for Eatontown Baseball and Softball." Council members thanked players, coaches, and volunteer organizers for growing the programs and noted the funding would be used to support youth sports activities.
Officials did not provide a detailed breakdown of how the funds will be spent; follow‑up with the recreation department and the CBA committee was described as the next step to determine allocation.
