A Season of Hope
A Doylestown baseball team, known as the Homers for Hope, has dedicated its entire season to supporting a young neighbor fighting leukemia. The squad, composed of players who travel from New Jersey and Delaware for weekly games, has turned each match into a chance to collect donations for the Dominguez family.
Faith Dominguez was diagnosed with acute lymphatic leukemia in December 2023 and completed chemotherapy in March, but the road to recovery remains long. Her parents, Chris Dominguez and other family members, have faced mounting medical and living expenses, prompting the community to rally around them.
Community Response
The fundraising effort has already yielded $9,000, a milestone celebrated by the team’s supporters. An additional $1,000 came from the Radnor Renegades, another local club inspired by Faith’s story, bringing the total contribution to a tangible relief for the family.
Legacy of Giving
Homers for Hope was founded in memory of Rip Roscioli, a beloved baseball enthusiast who passed away in 2009. Since its inception, the nonprofit has donated more than $500,000 to over 40 families across the Philadelphia area, embodying a legacy of giving that now extends to the Dominguez household.
Looking Ahead
The organization’s impact stretches beyond the diamond, as players and volunteers coordinate travel, events, and outreach to sustain the momentum. Their next home‑run derby is scheduled for August 1 at Trenton Thunder Ballpark, promising another opportunity for the community to contribute.
