➢ Option #1: Sponsor a summer youth baseball or softball team for $150. This sponsorship gets your name on the back of the jersey for a team in the age division of your choice. We will need to finalize the sponsors by March 31st .
➢ Option #2: purchase a banner(s) which will be hung at the Baldwin City Sports Complex. Banners are 5’ x 10’ and will be on display for the various recreational and high school sports, clinics, leagues, and tournaments that are played at the complex. We will use the logo you provide along with the information you want on it.
