2009 Evergreen Little League “Fields of Green”
Fund
The 2009 Evergreen Little League “Fields of Green” Fund proposes to
raise $150,000 primarily to fund capital improvement projects at Evergreen Little
League's (ELL) 20 baseball and softball fields. These projects include
permanent improvements, such as fencing, batting cages and irrigation, as well
as ongoing field maintenance expenses. This campaign does not replace team
sponsorships, which primarily fund team equipment as well as awards and
activities during the season for players.
Campaign Rationale:
The 2009 ELL Fields of Green Fund is raising money to:
l
improve the safety of ELL's
playing fields and practice facilities
l
create a positive playing and learning
experience for the children
l
enrich the community
Evergreen Little League is one of the largest Little Leagues in the
district, with 54 teams and 20 playing/practice fields. Although ELL has many
generous sponsors, the continued growth of the league, combined with the goal
of keeping registration fees reasonable for all players,* has created an urgent
need for additional funds to make major improvements to ELL's
playing facilities. Most of the fields
are on school district property, and the schools only
water and mow the fields. ELL takes
responsibility for all other maintenance and field improvements. ELL's proposed improvements not only benefit Little League
participants, but also enrich school athletics programs and the community as a
whole.
*Registration fees cover only 50% of ELL's
operating costs.
Sponsor Benefits:
l
Sponsor plaques or banners for major capital
improvement donations (such as batting cages, snack shacks, bull pens, fences,
etc.)
l
Publicity in ELL newsletter, on website, and
possible publicity articles in local newspapers
l
Booth space and acknowledgment at the 2009
Evergreen Little League Opening Day Ceremony (if donation made before March 14,
2009)
l
ELL is a non-profit 501 (C) (3) organization,
making all donations fully tax-deductible
