Why do we need fundraising?
Operating a successful Little League program requires numerous volunteers and community partners. Each season we have countless volunteers devoting their time and energy to help make our league run as smoothly as possible. In addition to our volunteers, the league requires community financial support. Player registrations only account for a small portion of league expenses.
Donations are 501(c)(3) eligible for tax deductions and for employer matching.
All sponsorships/donations help Union Little League:
· Maintain affordable registration fees for all players
· Purchase quality equipment for the safety and experience of our players
· Support the operational costs of our league such as insurance, umpire training, coaches training, etc.
· Long overdue Capital improvements, including:
- Bull Pen Upgrades
- New Zero-Turn Lawn Mower
- Bleacher Seating Area Upgrades
- New Mower Shed
- Fencing Screen Replacements
- Batting Cage Upgrade
- Repairs and replacement pipes for irrigation system
- Pitching machines for the batting cages
How can you help?
Each of the items listed above will require a lot of league involvement for them to be a success. The following are ways you can help us reach our goal:
Opening Day: The biggest area that we will need help with here is gathering donations for our raffle baskets. The Opening Day Coordinator will put together a list of raffle basket themes. This list will be passed to the rest of the league and donation drop off days will be scheduled. Obviously the more items we can get donated the more successful this event will be!
Hit-a-thon Campaign: Although this is called our “Hit-a-Thon” fundraiser, the donations collected are not linked to the distance each player hits a ball during our Hit-a-thon. In the past the majority of our players have only collected flat donations (not “per foot” donations). Because of this, we’ve decided to simplify the donation process this year and only accept flat dollar amount donations (i.e. $10, $25, etc.).
Outfield Banners: These banners are synonymous with little league baseball! Our goal is to completely fill both the AAA and Majors Fields outfield fences. The banners are all 3 ft x 5 ft and they will be hung for both the Spring and Fall Seasons.
