Jeff Ontiveros Field of Dreams fund is a non-profit organization honoring Jeff Ontiveros and the legacy he created. As part of this organization, we recognize that God doesn’t tell us his plans or the why, but he does call you to your life’s true purpose. Jeff was able to fulfill his dreams of playing baseball through the generous support of others who provided necessary funding. Jeff later went on to play at the collegiate and professional level before becoming a coach. As a coach, he fulfilled his life’s purpose as he mentored and inspired hundreds of youth. This organization is built with the goal to provide opportunities for youth in the area, just like Jeff was provided.

Qualifications:
Georgia Grace and I are so excited to recognize the first recipient of the Jeff Ontiveros Field of Dreams scholarship. Jake Laake is a dedicated young man who loves baseball and we are so honored to be able to award him the scholarship. He exudes many of the qualities that Jeff instilled in his players. He is a hard worker, has respect for the game, and has learned many valuable lessons in the fatigue, frustration, and challenges of the game. He shared with us he gives “110% effort and hard work no matter the circumstances!”
GG and I were able to connect with Jake and his mom and we all shared much excitement in that moment. The last thing Jake said to me when we ended our conversation was, “I will make Jeff proud”. I am proud that we get to honor Jeff in this way and I am excited for the future for Jake. Let’s welcome and congratulate Jake on this award!
