This made me tear up a little bit.
🌟 Sponsor of the Week: Ashley Bruning McBride State Farm 🌟
This week, we want to recognize someone who has shown KYSBA what community support really looks like.
Ashley Bruning McBride, with State Farm here in Kuna, has supported KYSBA throughout the year, but her impact has gone far beyond a traditional sponsorship.
During both our Spring and Fall seasons, Ashley stepped in to help cover registration costs for multiple kids who otherwise may not have had the opportunity to play. Because of her generosity, more children in our community were able to put on a uniform, join a team, and spend their season on the baseball and softball fields.
For Ashley, helping families is actually a big part of why she chose this career in the first place.
Years ago, a family member lost their home in a fire. Watching her family go through that experience made Ashley think about how meaningful it could be to help people during some of the hardest moments of their lives. That experience eventually helped lead her toward opening her own State Farm agency.
Ashley opened her agency on March 1, 2021, and has now been in business for 5½ years. One thing she wishes more people understood is that State Farm agencies are individually owned. While State Farm may be a national company, each local agent operates their own small business.
So when you support a local State Farm agent like Ashley, you are also supporting a local small business right here in our community.
Giving back has always been important to her, especially when it comes to local youth organizations.
When we asked Ashley why she chose to support KYSBA, her answer summed it up perfectly:
“I believe any child that wants to play baseball or softball should be able to. If I can help make that possible for kiddos, it makes my heart happy.”
Ashley also has a personal connection to KYSBA. Her sixth grader has played with our league since their family moved to Kuna in 2022. While Ashley didn’t grow up playing baseball or softball herself, both of her boys have played throughout their lives.
That makes her support of our players even more meaningful.
Ashley isn’t just sponsoring a league. She is helping create opportunities for kids, supporting families, and investing back into the community she calls home.
We are incredibly thankful for everything Ashley Bruning McBride State Farm has done for KYSBA and for the families who have benefited from her generosity.
Please help us thank Ashley for continuing to show up for our kids, our league, and our Kuna community. ❤️⚾🥎
