The Trevor Frederickson Memorial Fund recently donated $2,500 to the Atlantic Little League.  Fund spokesperson (Trevor’s mom) Melanie Petty, says the money will be used for fencing improvements to the fields.  Although a normal season wasn’t held this year due to COVID-19, Petty says the board continued to do work on the fields and grounds to update them and have them ready to go for the clinics that were held along with different travel teams and this year,  the AHS Softball program.  She says “Atlantic should be very proud of the facilities that are available for our children to play on.”

Petty says baseball is one of the fund’s favorite things to help with, as Trevor played ball from the time he was 5 years old all the way through college.  After college he continued to play ball on town leagues.  It was a true passion of his.

The annual TFred Memorial Golf Tournament will be happening in just over a month on August 8th at Nishna Hills Golf Course.  Melanie Petty says “We are looking forward to a great day of golf and hope to see a lot of people out there.  There is still time to sign up your team to golf, donate an item for our silent auction or sponsor a hole.  All money raised is given back to the community that Trevor loved.”

The Trevor Frederickson Fund ia a 501(c)3 Nonprofit Organization. Petty says they look forward to another year of giving back [to the community].
