Sponsorships and Fundraising

I have a business, how do I sponsor the league/my child’s team? Great news! Please check out our Sponsorships page and if you have any questions, contact Cassie Doherty.

What is my family’s commitment to contributing to the league in addition to the registration fee? There are many ways to help support Lower Perk Little League. Nothing is mandatory, but we highly encourage your participation:

• Kick-off the season at our annual St. Patrick’s Day fundraiser
• Actively fundraise for the annual Hit-A-Thon
• Purchase baseball and softball equipment during the Dick's Sporting Goods 20% off weekend event held at the beginning of each season
• Support our snack stand during practices and games
• Purchase snack stand coins to give to the players for after game treats instead of bringing your own snacks
• Order pictures during Picture Day; a portion of the sales comes back to the league
• If you or someone you know owns a business, become a sponsor
