I got an email last week from Cash Collins, a Clinker from South Carolina. Works with (Started?) a charity, The Stirrup Project, to help benefit less fortunate Little Leaguers in the U.S. and the Dominican Republic. I know Jason and I will be throwing a few ducats his way and I want to encourage all the Clinkers out there to chip in as much as they can afford. He’s also looking for a designer to help him update the look of the charity’s website and logo (check that out here). I’m kinda in love with the site’s logo and simplicity now, but it could use a few tweaks. Is there anyone out there that could help Cash out with a few hours of their time. It’s going to what sounds like a great cause!
This is what the Stirrup Project’s website has to say about it’s mission…”If you are not familiar with the Stirrup Project, then I’m about to sum up the entire story for you in a few sentences. The Project was founded with the idea that everyone deserves a chance to play baseball, and that chance is not available for many. With the help of you, I want to give that opportunity that most of us were blessed with to some of those who are little less fortunate. Therefore, if you care about baseball please read on to see if you can help support the Project.
The Stirrup Project hopes to serve many in the future including those here in the homeland and in underdeveloped countries. Initially, the Stirrup Project has undertaken two initiatives to provide baseball equipment to the less fortunate. I have chosen the Dominican Republic as one of our first drop destinations because we all know how much the Dominicans love baseball. And also, the project is teaming with the Henry Aaron Dixie Youth League in Allendale, SC as the other initiative.
I want to help as many of these kids as I can have the chance to live out their dream by providing them with adequate baseball equipment. So help the kids out, donate to the project, buy a shirt, or send baseball equipment. It is for the kids. If you have questions or ideas, please contact me at the info@thestirrupproject.com”
Thanks guys for any help that you can offer! Go to the Stirrup Project’s website to learn more…
Hey Casey. Happy New Year. I’d be happy to help out. Let me know if there’s anything you need (i.e. contact info, work samples).

I just wanted to thank Casey and Jason for taking the time and space to give the Stirrup Project a little exposure. I started this charity recently out of my dorm room, and I have had a hard time getting it off the ground. I don’t have the funds or exposure that is necessary. However recently, I have had a lot people interested in helping, and I really want to improve my overall presentation. If anyone can help me with this, then I would be so appreciative. I need an overhaul of the website (it is plain and boring), and I would love a revamp of the logo (it doesn’t look to professional, I am not the greatest artist). If you are interested, send me an email at info@thestirrupproject.com. Thanks so much. Looked forward to hearing from my fellow Clinkers.
