Attention Businesses and Organizations:
Since 1956, the Lefty Grove Baseball League has served the Norwalk, Ohio community by providing quality baseball to the youth of our area, instilling in them the values of teamwork and sportsmanship, and helping prepare the next generations for success as they grow into adulthood. None of this would be possible without the support of our community and its local businesses and organizations. This year, we have a variety of ways that you can help support our mission and allow us to provide affordable baseball to the youth of Norwalk, Ohio and surrounding communities.
Team Sponsorships - $500
We expect to add a number of teams to our divisions this season. Returning sponsors will have priority to hold their position, then we will begin contacting businesses and organizations that express interest in sponsoring teams in the order they are added to our interest list. Sponsoring a team will mean that team is named after your organization, with your business/organization name on their jersey, used in all advertising, reporting, and communications regarding that team, as well as being listed as a sponsor on our website.
Field Banners - $1000
For the first time, we are providing an opportunity to sponsor a field with a 8' x 4' banner on an outfield fence. This sponsorship includes the cost of the banner which will remain on the field fence from May through the end of the fall season in October. All sponsors with a field banner will also be included on our website sponsorship listing.
Backstop Banners - $1500
In addition out outfield banners, each field will host one featured sponsor with a banner no smaller than 8' x 4' on the Backstop, beside the scorekeepers box! All backstop sponsors will included as a featured sponsor on our website homepage in addition to the standard sponsorship listing. Like the Outside Banners, your backstop banner will remain up from at least May until the end of October.
Travel Sponsorships - $250 and up
Sponsoring the Lefty Grove Travel teams is an incredibly flexible opportunity with tiers of sponsorship beginning at $250 with additional limited add on options. For the 2023 season, the Lefty Grove Baseball League anticipates 5 teams, 8u, 10u, 12u, 14u, and 17u.
