Dear Weston Little League Families and Friends:
Weston Little League is pleased to announce the opportunity for family, friends, and businesses to sponsor league teams and signage at the Bisceglie baseball fields. Weston Little League is a not-for-profit volunteer organization dedicated to the promotion of youth baseball in Weston. Monies raised in connection with sponsorship opportunities will be used entirely for costs and expenses of the League’s operation and maintenance of playing fields and should be tax deductible (consult your tax advisor).
We hope that you will take part in the opportunity to support the League and its players which now number more than 350 children. With your support, the League endeavors to provide fundamental instruction and positive reinforcement to its players, while offering families the opportunity to share in a shared community experience.
The League offers four (4) basic sponsorship opportunities:
1. Team Sponsorships:
Your name will be recognized by the League as sponsoring a team for this Spring 2008 season. You receive a team picture plaque for display. All sponsors (team and sign sponsors) will receive recognition on the League web site, including a hot link to their business, and will be allowed to send out one blast e-mail per season to League membership. The League will encourage players, parents and coaches to patronize sponsors. In addition to the sponsor fees, sponsors will be expected to donate one or more items to the raffle/silent auction held at the League picnic in June 2008.
The cost to sponsor a team is $250.00 per season. If you want to sponsor a specific team or a team in a particular division, the cost is $400.00 per season.. If you would like to sponsor a team(s) for both the Spring and Fall 2008 seasons, the cost is $350.00 or 600.00 for the ability to chose a specific team or division. Team sponsorships will be accepted on a first come basis. Please note with the impending start of the 2008 Spring season, the League will make all reasonable efforts to place sponsor names on uniforms prior to the commencement of the Spring 2008 season, but cannot guarantee same. Sponsors names will appear on Fall 2008 season uniforms.
The number of League teams for the Spring 2008 season is:
National League- 4 teams
American League- 6 teams
AAA- 9 teams
AA- 6 teams
A- 7 teams
2. Sign Sponsorships:
You receive a wooden sign along the outfield fences at the Bisceglie fields. Sign sponsors will receive recognition on the League web site, including a hot link to their business, and will be allowed to send out one blast e-mail per season to League membership. The League will encourage players, parents and coaches to patronize sponsors. In addition to the sponsor fees, sponsors will be expected to donate one or more items to the raffle/silent auction held at the League picnic in June 2008.
Cost of sign sponsorship is:
Bisceglie Field #1
$600.00 for one calendar year (Spring, Summer, and Fall seasons) or $1400.00 for three years. For those electing the three year option, the first payment of $600.00 is due at the time of sponsorship and payments of $400 per year will be due by March 1 of the succeeding years. Photographs of the proposed sign format (subject to change) are available upon request.
Bisceglie Fields #2 and #3
$500.00 for one calendar year (Spring, Summer, and Fall seasons) or $1200.00 for three years. For those electing the three year option, the first payment of $500.00 is due at the time of sponsorship and payments of $350 per year will be due by March 1 of the succeeding years. Photographs of the proposed sign format (subject to change) are available upon request
Sign sponsorship will be on a first come basis. Sign placement on the different fields will be determined by order in which Sponsor requests are received and as may be accommodated by the League. Please note that per town regulations, sign placement may not be made where a sign is viewable from Route 53. For this reason, the exact number of signs is not yet determined. To the extent that a Sponsor’s preference for sign placement is not able to accommodated, the League reserves discretion to place sign in next most desirable location as may be determined by League. If sign sponsorship is oversold, then sponsors will be selected in the order in which commitments are received by the League.
3. Silent Auction Donations
The League seeks donations of goods or services from individuals and businesses to be used as part of a silent auction and a raffle at the League annual picnic scheduled for June 2008. Donors’ names will be prominently displayed next to their donated item at auction. Last year the generous contributions of individuals and businesses helped offset League expenses in connection with its first annual picnic. Individuals or businesses with an interest in donating goods or services to the League for auction or raffle (e.g., sports related items, tickets, or memorabilia; service gift certificates; travel or vacation packages) should contact Keith Watanabe at 203-644-5261 or
.
4. General Donations
If individuals, businesses, or organizations wish to make a general contribution to the League and be recognized as a League benefactor on its web site, contributions will be gladly received. All contributions received by the League will be placed in its general fund for use in the operation and administration of the League.
Again, the League invites your generous support for our community youth baseball program.
If you have any questions, regarding the above opportunities please contact Keith Watanabe at 203-644-5261 or
