Fees and Fundraising
The cost of running a baseball program like ours is substantial. To help keep the program competitive, address increasing costs, and make it affordable for all families, we need to do some fundraising. Although participation is not mandatory, all players will benefit from fundraising as team members, so please help our teams reach our fundraising goals.

Fundraising
New Angels for this year are encouraged to try to raise $300 from Hit-A-Thon pledges and business donations. Returning Angels are encouraged to try to raise $500 or more. Varsity players are urged to strive for $1000 or more to help with World Series expenses. Players can choose to raise money through hit-a-thon donations, run the bases donations, business sponsorships, or any combination of the three. However, we ask all players to participate in the hit-a-thon as hitters (unless injured).
Hit-A-Thon
Each player is to collect pledges from friends & family for his longest hit. This is an exciting event for the whole family with music, food & fun. In addition to raising funds for the program, this event gives players and parents from all teams an opportunity to come together for an evening of baseball. Injured players can participate using the alternate form of the fundraising letter (uses a team average distance).
Run the Bases
Players collect donations on the run the bases form.
Business Sponsorships
All players are encouraged to approach local businesses as potential sponsors for our team. Special recognition of sponsors will be given based on the sponsorship level.
Fundraising Awards
The three players with the highest total funds raised will each receive gift cards of $100, $75, & $50, respectively. Players are challenged to honor each of their teammates by participating and having a minimum of 10 contributors (individuals or business).
