Volunteer Activities
As an avid baseball player, it was natural for Mr. Beyer to want to give back to those who loved playing ball as much as he did. During high school, he spearheaded a marketing plan for a Major League Baseball program designed to promote the rebirth of baseball in impoverished areas. He successfully solicited and collected 400 pounds of new and used baseball gear to distribute to children in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico.
