This week Lance Restum, executive director of the Arkansas Travelers Youth Foundation, returns to the studio to discuss the charity's impactful work in fostering community health and supporting local youth through baseball and softball. 

Rex and Lance delve into the crucial issue of economic barriers that prevent many children and young adults from participating in sports. Lance shares how the foundation is tackling these challenges with a range of initiatives. These include their college scholarship program, free youth baseball clinics, and the Cleat Closet program, which provides essential equipment and gear to those in need.

The pair also discuss the 'overall health epidemic' affecting modern youth and the importance of programs like the baseball free clinics to encourage children to get outside and stay active. Lance also mentions the foundation's Mobile Wellness Center that offers guidance to youth on ways to maintain and improve their physical health on and off the field. 

Rex touches on the potential economic benefits of investing in new and renovated youth sports facilities in Little Rock and North Little Rock. He argues that such investments would not only enhance community health but also provide a boost to the local economy.
