PCBS volunteer of the year award winners
The PCBS is an organization that depends on literally hundreds of volunteers each season to deliver the best baseball and softball programs. Every year one person is selected to be recognized for their special contribution to the program. To these people, we are all especially grateful and wish to simply say Thank You. Thank you for the hours of devotion to our organization and even more importantly to the participants of Palatine Community Baseball & Softball.
