WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes, in conjunction with the Winnipeg Goldeyes Field of Dreams Foundation, are pleased to announce the beneficiaries of funds raised during the 2024 baseball season. During the 2024 calendar year, the Winnipeg Goldeyes Field of Dreams Foundation raised and distributed more than $100,000 in support of 48 registered children’s charities (complete list of recipients below) through generous contributions from Manitobans across the province. Among this year’s funding recipients is the Children’s Rehabilitation Foundation, which is a charity dedicated to helping children and youth live as independently as possible. They are the fundraising entity for the Rehabilitation Centre for Children – an outpatient facility providing services and outreach therapy in support of children and youth realizing their potential and participating fully in their communities. “Youth living with varying abilities require our support to discover their potential and participate in their communities. This generous grant from the Winnipeg Goldeyes Field of Dreams Foundation is going to be life-altering for two siblings who are on Children’s Rehabilitation Foundation’s specialized equipment waitlist. We are so grateful for this contribution and look forward to watching these young sisters flourish on their new mobility devices.” – Jane Kidd-Hantscher , Executive Director of Children’s Rehabilitation Foundation. Toba Centre for Children & Youth is a charitable organization that coordinates a collaborative approach to child abuse investigation and response. Toba Centre provides a space where children and families can find comfort, healing, and access to the resources they need when they’ve been impacted by abuse or witnessed violence. It is our vision that every victim of child abuse, and every child witness to violence, is heard, helped, and healed. “We are truly grateful for the Winnipeg Goldeyes Field of Dreams Foundation’s support of our hotel care packages. Toba Centre serves all of Manitoba and we often see children come from out of town with very little. This support will provide families with much-needed hotel care packages containing pajamas and a change of clothes, toiletries, food, games, and activities. During an unimaginable time in their young lives, ensuring kids have these comforts can make a big difference in their healing journey.” – Christy Dzikowicz , Chief Executive Officer of Toba Centre for Children & Youth The Movement Centre of Manitoba is a privately funded registered charity and the only one of its kind in Manitoba that specializes in conductive education rehabilitation and therapy for children and adults living with neuromotor disorders. The Movement Centre is committed to serving Manitobans living with neurological conditions such as cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, stroke, acquired brain injury, developmental delays, spina bifida and Parkinson’s disease. “Thank you for helping kids and adults with neurological disabilities live their best lives! We are so grateful for the Goldeyes Field of Dreams Foundation support which will directly impact hundreds of Manitobans and their families.” – Jennifer Wojcik , Executive Director of the Movement Centre of Manitoba “Because the Movement Centre receives no government funding and relies solely on donations, fundraising and grants, the Goldeyes Field of Dreams Foundation’s support means that much more. Thank you for sharing our vision of equal opportunity for all to live fully and be included in meaningful activities in all areas of life and community.” – Tim Steadman , Board Co-Chair of the Movement Centre of Manitoba “The foundation is thrilled to once again be able to support so many incredible children’s charities that are making a real difference in Manitobans’ lives,” said Tony Fletcher , President of the Winnipeg Goldeyes Field of Dreams Foundation. “None of this would be possible without the generosity of our fans and corporate partners, whose unwavering support allows us to give back year after year.” Since its inception in 1995, the Winnipeg Goldeyes Field of Dreams Foundation has raised and distributed more than $3 Million to children’s charities in Manitoba. Revenue sources include the Field of Dreams Foundation annual golf tournament, fan donations, the Fillmore Riley LLP Ks for Kids program, the Sonia’s Stand Radar Pitching Booth, memorabilia auctions, and the sale of 50/50 tickets during home games at Blue Cross Park.

Sierra was chosen by the New York Mets in the 28th round of the 2016 Major League Baseball June Amateur Draft out of Polyvalente Édouard-Montpetit (Montréal, Québec) but chose not to sign. He was listed as Baseball America magazine’s 12th best high school player in Canada that year. The 25-year-old was a member of the junior national team from 2015-17 and represented Canada at the 2017 U-18 Baseball World Cup in Thunder Bay, Ontario. Sierra went on to attend Chipola College (Marianna, Florida), Yavapai College (Prescott, Arizona), Washington State University (Pullman, Washington), and New Mexico State University (Las Cruces, New Mexico). Over the 2021 and 2022 seasons with Washington State, Sierra appeared in 27 contests – mostly in relief. He compiled a 3-2 record and a 5.60 earned-run-average with one save. The Montréal, Québec native will make his professional debut with the Goldeyes and would become the 77th Canadian to play for the club since its inception in 1994, and the sixth Quebecer. “Will is a young guy with a live arm,” said Goldeyes skipper Logan Watkins . “We were made aware of him after his performance at a Tread Athletics workout. Once we saw video, we decided to make him a priority to be one of our young arms this year. Guys with good stuff are hard to find and if he can grow with the help of (pitching coach) Mark Brewer this year, he’s fully capable of competing in this league.” Winnipeg now has 17 players under contract for the 2025 season.
