Mission
Statement: The Community Relations department of the Lima
Warriors
genuinely cares about the Lima community. Through the
organization's support of various charities, causes, and events
throughout the area, we hope to display our dedication to making
our community a better place for everyone. The Warriors realize
the responsibility they have of showing sensitivity and kindness
to those that are less fortunate. That's why whether a group of
our players are signing autographs for children, speaking at
schools about the importance of education, or making a sick child
in the hospital smile through a visit, the Warriors always have
their eye on the goal more important than the goal of any football
game; making a difference in the lives of others.
The
Lima Warriors serve the Lima community with pride and passion as a quality example of
individual and team excellence on the field and
within the community by consistently exceeding our fans’
expectations by demonstrating the highest character, appreciation
and respect for our game, fans, teammates and partners as a
cost-effective and visionary organization providing a total
entertainment experience.
 Youth
Football Camp: Lima Warriors hosts and annual
non-contact, youth football skills camp. We are extremely
proud of the Warriors' winning tradition and want to share our
Commitment to Excellence with the next generation of Warrior
players and fans. The camp is designed to encourage boys age
8 - 12 to participate in and enjoy the game of football. All
camp instruction and activities will be held at the Bath High
School facilities in Lima, Ohio. Warriors' staff and players
will be on hand to demonstrate the basic fundamentals of all
positions. We welcome athletes with all levels of
experience. The camp is organized and structured to provide
every participant, regardless of skill level, with the same
top-notch instruction.
D.A.R.E.
Program:
Each year during the off-season, Lima Warriors
players and coaches speak at schools in the Lima community as part
of the D.A.R.E. program. D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance
Education) programs are run in conjunction with local police
departments nationwide. The police officers work with fifth and
sixth graders, teaching them alternatives to drugs and ways to say
no to drugs. The Warriors are strong supporters of the D.A.R.E.
program and work closely with the local police departments to
provide players and coaches to speak with the children in these
programs.
 Big
Brother Big Sisters of Allen County:
Players and coaches from the Lima Warriors mentor local children
in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. Big Brothers Big
Sisters of Allen County is a volunteer organization that provides
children support, guidance, friendship and fun by matching them to
adult role models. For more than 75 years, Big Brothers Big
Sisters has fulfilled their mission of enriching, encouraging and
empowering children to reach their highest potential through safe,
positive mentoring relationships. The only requirements to
being a Big is the willingness to make a new friend and a desire
to share some fun with a young person. Bigs and Littles
expand each other's horizons by sharing everyday activities:
playing sports, seeing movies, going over schoolwork, volunteering
in their communities, or just hanging out together. Within
those little moments of friendship lies the big magic that a Big
Brother or Big Sister brings to the life of a young person - and
that a Little brings to his or her Big. You'd
be surprised at what a little time can do for a kid. Not to
mention what it can do for you. If you are interested in becoming
