Dear Potential Sponsor,

Score a Home with the Youth of our Community!

Middletown Little League is dedicated to building character, courage and loyalty in our youth by providing a fun, and competitive program. To be successful, MLL requires a tremendous amount of support from the local community.

Your tax-deductible donation helps offset the costs of equipment, insurance, training and operational expenses as well as helps supplement participation fees.

Middletown Little League is the oldest little league in New England and one of the largest and the benefits of sponsorship are plentiful…

 MLL is a 501(c)3 organization, which makes your sponsorship tax deductible.  For less than the price of a full-page in many publications, you can broadcast your message, every day, to the hundreds of people who visit the Middletown Little League website.  You will be recognized for your goodwill and support of the youth of the community when you receive your Sponsorship Plaque complete with a photo of the team you sponsored.  Your company name will be prominently displayed on our website throughout the year.  Your business will be afforded the opportunity to distribute information and/or coupons related to your organization during select Middletown Little League events.

Thank you for considering becoming a sponsor of Middletown Little League for the 2014 spring season. On the following pages you will find the different levels of sponsorship offered by the league. If you choose to support our league for the upcoming season, please fill the attached form and return it to the address below no later than February 15, 2014. Please contact me with any questions. If you have questions, please contact Maria Reimer at [email protected] or (860) 573-0105.
