Sponsorship Opportunities:
Rockford Little League is dedicated to building character, courage and loyalty in local area youth by providing fun, safe, and competitive baseball and softball programs. To be successful, RLL requires a tremendous amount of support by the local community.
We are a nonprofit organization whose primary objective is to cultivate and develop young athletes within the Rockford area to become athletes of the future.
Registration is open, but we will officially kick off our 2024 season beginning April 22, 2024. We expect to incur many known and unknown expenses in the development of this baseball/softball club. The expense of creating a club and providing a safe environment for our athletes is much greater than one might expect. For example, the cost of baseballs, bats, helmets and other associated equipment for training will be a significant expense. These expenses in conjunction with field maintenance, repairs and other miscellaneous expenses will exceed what we receive in registrations. In addition, for those athletes whose financial limitations prohibit them from participating, we will work with the families to provide aid so that the child may participate.
We rely on the support of individuals and the local area business to help provide these services to the youth in our community. We are in the process of developing a variety of fundraisers that will be conducted between now and April 2024 to help fund our season. Our recruiting efforts indicate that we will register over 800 kids this year. With this type of enrollment, we expect to be a major player in the youth baseball/softball arena. By helping us, you can help yourself. As a sponsor, depending on the level of sponsorship you select, your name and/or organization will follow our teams wherever we go.
BENEFITS OF BEING A SPONSOR
Your help and support will ensure our area youth are provided a positive baseball/softball experience. As an individual or local business involved with Rockford Little League, you will benefit by being recognized for your goodwill and support of youth baseball/softball. For less than the price of a full-page ad in any publication, you can broadcast your message every day to the hundreds of people who visit the Rockford Little League complex.
Sponsors are a vital part of Rockford Little League, and we very much appreciate their support of the league. Without the support of our sponsors, it would be a difficult task to provide smooth operations for a community of our size. We hope that your business will consider taking part in our growing program this year!
We will display your company or organization on our website so it can be viewed by thousands of people. In addition, RLL is a 501(c)(3) which means your contribution is tax deductible!
