    Generation after generation has stood before the pitcher's mound at Griffith Stadium and taken a swing at both baseball and at life. Since 1953, the field has been home to thousands of baseball games; many of those games were the humble beginnings for professional baseball careers. For countless others, the bittersweet last game of their high school days marked the end of their time to wear a baseball uniform.

    After fifty-seven years, the City of Minden still owns Griffith Memorial Stadium. And in the years since it all began at what was once called The City Municipal Ball Park, time has stolen away part of the stadium's former glory. There is a group of citizens that still understand the importance of Griffith Stadium, and they need your help to restore the historic property. Something amazing is happening now, and it is surfacing through a joint effort between the City of Minden, Minden High School and The American Legion; they, along with many concerned citizens in the local area, are determined to raise the funds needed to preserve and protect the heritage of Griffith Memorial Stadium for future generations to enjoy.

    Your kind donation will help fund much-needed repairs to Griffith Stadium. You have the opportunity to not only make a difference in the lives of our children and young adults, but your contribution will also have an economic impact in our local area. For each tournament held at Griffith Stadium, hundreds of spectators and baseball players will come to Minden. They will visit Minden's Restaurants, stay in local hotels and boost the local economy. But your donation's importance does not end when the tournaments are over. Minden High School's baseball team has called the diamond home for more than fifty years. By restoring Griffith Stadium, we are teaching the next generation to value history and giving Minden High School the chance to continue the tradition of playing on the historic diamond.

    The American Legion/Griffith Memorial Stadium Committee appointed by Mayor Bill Robertson requests your support in helping to restore Griffith Memorial Stadium with your generous tax free donation. Just click on the donation button above and fill in the blanks.

    Thank you for your consideration!
