                                                                                     SUCCESS STORIES

In the last five years, we have raised more than $154,000 for local charities to support the kids in our area!

Family Night Out – Lord’s, through the Bethany Fenwick Chamber of Commerce, brought 60 local businesses
to our 5-acre property to set up fun events for kids in 2019. The community came together with local artist John Donato, to paint a community wall of local businesses. The businesses sponsored the event and wall to raise $10,000.00 for the Ball 4 All Foundation, which gives scholarships to college athletes and younger children to
play sports and does local free kids activities throughout the year to keep kids playing outside and staying
healthy.

Whimsical Woods – The Ball 4 All Foundation and Southern Delaware School of the Arts created a magical
tour of the property for Halloween. We had hundreds of families walk through our whimsical trick-or-treating
event where they met the Hulk, Darth Vader, Anna and Elsa, and more! We raised $9,700 in 2020, $20,000 in
2021, $35,000 in 2023 and $36,000 in 2024 totaling $100,700 that went to the Ball 4 All Foundation to go
toward their scholarships, Friday Night Freeze, Kickball, and other local events they had for kids in our area!

Fire & Ice– A part of the Bethany Fenwick Chamber of Commerce Fire and Ice Festival in February of 2021 &
2022, Lord’s Landscaping had a food-and-wine tour around our 5-acre property that featured cuisine from the
Off the Hook Restaurant Group’s (now known as Common Ground Hospitality) five area restaurants, as well as
wine from the Bethany Beverage Company. 16 local businesses wrapped around the property handing out local
favorites as well as displaying an ice sculpture. We raised $10,000.00 in 2021 for Santa’s Letters Charity, a
nonprofit that helps families in need at Christmas time, as well as the rest of the year. In 2022, we raised $9,000
for the Millville Fire Hall. In 2024 we sponsored the Ice Rink and helped raise $3,000 that went to the Lord
Baltimore PTO.

Mariner’s Bethel Trail Run – In 2021 we raised $22,000 for Mariner’s Bethel Hope Center’s new after-school
program, called Enrichment of Hope, for at-risk youth in our community. This will operate under the auspices of
the No Unmet Human Need Association (NUHNA) in our 12-mile radius. Children in lower Sussex County will
have a safe place to go after school with meals provided and helpers to assist with schoolwork. **We are no
longer in charge of this event this coming year, but it is still awesome!**

Whimsical Woods
Date – October 23 & 24, 2024
Location – Lord’s Landscaping
Time – 5pm-8pm
Whimsical Woods is our enchanting Halloween event, created during the pandemic to provide children with a sense of normalcy when traditional trick-or-treating was restricted. Our inaugural Whimsical Woods in 2020 was a resounding success despite the challenges of COVID-19. Now, with restrictions lifted, the sky’s the limit! Each year, tickets have completely SOLD OUT, attracting around 1,500 attendees.

This magical two-night event invites guests to explore a 5-acre, fantasy-filled forest, collecting candy and goodies from beloved superheroes and movie characters. There will be plenty of opportunities for photos with these characters. Whimsical Woods promises fun for all ages, including an optional “Haunted Greenhouse” trail at the end. Attendees can enjoy complimentary food from Taste Catering from Common Ground Hospitality, an alcoholic or non alcoholic beverage from Bethany Beach Beverage Company, and a FREE book from Bethany Beach Books at the end of the trail!

We also offer a “Candy Sponsor” option, where you can choose the amount you wish to donate, and a “Volunteer Sponsor” option for those who want to help during the event days.

All proceeds from the event, including sponsorships and tickets, will be donated to the Ball4All Foundation and other local charities. Businesses will not be permitted to sell any products or goods at this event, as we do this entirely for the kids, not for profit. The Ball4All Foundation, based in Sussex County, DE, strives to provide more opportunities for our youth to exercise, set goals, work hard, show dedication, and learn teamwork through sports and fitness. This year’s proceeds will fund athletic scholarships, ‘Let’s Kick it’ Kickball nights, ‘Friday Night Freeze’ dodgeball nights, and other future FREE kid nights that promote positive youth development.

Thanks to your generous donations, the Ball4All Foundation has been able to sponsor many kids to play sports at higher levels. Some of these kids even competed in the Softball World Series at the Pyle Center, which you may have seen on ESPN! Each competing athlete received a free voucher from the Ball4All Foundation to use at the concession stand, supporting our local fields. Thank you to the Ball4All Foundation for all they do!
