2023 BAT-A-THON®
Due to popular demand, last chance to donate extended to Tuesday, May 16th (12PM)!

This is our chance to bring it home to MLL! 

By now, you should have received the link to your player’s 99Pledges fundraising page, if you have not, please reach out to Michelle Koh ([email protected]). Be on the look out for more details about how the hitting competition works and the family fun day in future e-mails.

Prizes:

• Players who raise $160 and over will get a MLL T-shirt or an "I HEART MLL Jibbitz" & shoe charm pack.
• Players who raise $500 and over get a personalized brick on the MLL walkway (For sibling groups who raise $1000, each MLL sibling will get their own personalized brick).

Team prize:

• Teams with 100% participation and average $160/player win a pizza party!
•   ***NEW*** WIFFLE BALL GAME under the lights - Top 3 teams that raises the most money will receive a Wiffle Ball game under the summer lights!

Why a fundraiser?

Registration fees cover less than half of what it costs to operate MLL our complex. BAT-A-THON funds allows us to make up the difference between our low registration fees and what MLL actually costs.

In the past year, we have (1) replaced all field lighting; (2) added safety lighting around the bathrooms; (3) fully rebuilt and regraded Field 1; and (4) rebuilt the softball batting cages. Our next projects are (1) rebuilding and regrading Fields 2 and 3; (2) replacing equipment in the fan favorite snack bar; and (3) building out a new turf field at Linway Terrace Park that will allow games in all weather.

Thank you so much and please do not hesitate to reach out to your Team Parent with any questions!

Sincerely,

2023 MLL BAT-A-THON Committee
