Since 1961, the Hot Stovers has been committed to supporting and celebrating Berks County high school baseball & softball, youth baseball & softball, and American Legion baseball. Each year, we award college scholarships to local student athletes and recognize teams and individuals for their excellence at our Annual Awards Banquet. We are a proud and historic organization who above all love our youth, our community and America’s pastime.
We are proud of our legacy. With the help of generous donors, we have been able to award close to $225K in scholarships to our area student athletes who excel on the field, in the classroom, and in the community.
