To the editor:

Hillsboro Recreation Commission recently received a $1,000 grant from the Hillsboro Community Foundation.

The grant will be used to purchase catcher’s gear for summer baseball and softball programs to help ensure the safety of players.

Without the Hillsboro Community Foundation grant, Hillsboro Recreation Commission would have had to pass along the cost of the gear to the youth participants.
