New Lowell Minor Baseball Association is currently accepting donations to raise funds for a Memorial Bench in memory of Ben Martin, who played and most recently coached in this Association during the 2024 season. Ben passed away 15 January 2025. The picture above is Ben on the left, playing third base on New Lowell Diamond 1 in August 2023 and on the right, a picture of bench similar to the one that is being purchased for this initiative.
The goal of the NLMBA is to raise approximately $2300.00 by May 2025 and have the Memorial Bench installed in a public location in the vicinity of the New Lowell Recreation Park on County Road 9. The bench will feature a plaque dedicated to the memory of New Lowell player and coach, Ben Martin.
