Silica For Your Home to Donate $5,200 for Dock Spiders Stolen Bases
The Fond du Lac Dock Spiders were burning rubber on the basepaths in 2026. Silica For Your Home once again pledged $50 to the Boys & Girls Club of Fond du Lac for each stolen base at Herr-Baker Field. During the 2026 season, the Dock Spiders notched 104 stolen bases at home – equaling a total donation of $5,200 to the Boys & Girls Club of Fond du Lac. Dock Spiders baserunners stole a total of 163 overall bases this season, the second-most in team history (235 in 2021). The 2026 season marks the fourth season of the popular program that has supported youth in the community.
“We’re proud to continue our partnership with the Boys & Girls Club of Fond du Lac and the Fond du Lac Dock Spiders for another season,” said Silica For Your Home President Josh Schneider. “Watching the Dock Spiders steal 104 bases at Herr-Baker Field and knowing each one contributed to a $50 donation made every stolen base even more meaningful. We’re excited that this year’s performance resulted in donation to an organization that makes such a positive impact on local kids and families. We’re grateful to be part of a partnership that brings our community together and helps invest in the next generation.”
“What an exciting year on the bases! We continue to be in awe of the athletic abilities of our Dock Spiders players, and the generosity of our donor partner, Silica For Your Home,” said Boys & Girls Club of Fond du Lac Chief Executive Officer Dan Hebel. “Each of the 104 stolen bases will have a meaningful impact on the well-being of our members. What an investment in the future of our community!”
In addition to providing a donation to the Boys & Girls Club of Fond du Lac for each Dock Spiders stolen base at home this season, Silica For Your Home partnered with the Dock Spiders for their Caleb Durbin bobblehead giveaway in 2026. Durbin was a Dock Spiders infielder in 2020-21 and made his Major League debut in 2025 for the Milwaukee Brewers before being traded to the Boston Red Sox prior to the 2026 season.
