The Coldwell Banker West Shell Match program is designed to bring youth baseball teams from the suburbs and the inner city together in the spirit of diversity, interaction and friendly competition. Through the support of Coldwell Banker West Shell, the program has expanded to include 22 organizations, which will continue to make this one of the most meaningful programs the Reds Community Fund supports.

This year's "matches" include:

• Anderson Township Little League with the Madisonville Braves organization
• Wyoming Knothole and the Lincoln Heights Tigers
• Loveland/Cincinnati Stix and Evanston Six Men Tigers
• Mason Knothole and The Friars Club(Clifton Heights)
• Madeira Knothole and West End Reds / T.S. Bulls
• Forest Park Baseball & Softball Association and Newport American Legion
• West Chester Riverbats and the Bond Hill Blue Jays
• St. Ignatius (Monfort Heights) and the North Hills Baseball organization
• Harrison Jr. Baseball and Kennedy Heights / Silverton Ken-Sil Marlins
• Price Hill Athletic Association and Norwood Knothole
• Erlanger and Covedale baseball

Each Match will participate in a home-and-home series, in which teams blend and play, mingle and cookout with the kids and their families. All teams will play an integral role in this year's Civil Rights Game, in which they will take part in the Youth Summit on Fountain Square, "march" to the ball park in the Delta Youth Baseball March to Great American Ball Park. The program will culminate in a field trip to the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center in October.
