Unique sponsorship opportunity to support West Haven’s Youth
Published: August 1, 2012
About the West Haven Giants and West Haven Diamonds
Near West’s baseball and softball programs currently serve over 25 boys and girls between the ages of 8 and 17 years old. Housed in West Haven, a community in the Near West Side of Chicago, the programs enable underserved youth to participate in athletic, academic and life skill development activities during the summer. Moreover, the majority of youth in the program attend low performing schools with little access to extracurricular activities. Our baseball and softball program keeps youth occupied during periods of high violence.
Additionally, it provides a safe space for youth to be physically active while working together as a team. Activities include practices, games, field trips, workshops and regional competitions throughout the season. While the program provides technical skill-building and conditioning, the curriculum also emphasizes the importance of maintaining healthy lifestyles which encompasses eating habits, alcohol and drug prevention, and mental/physical fitness.
Sponsorship Opportunity
Presently Near West is seeking sponsorship funding in support of the West Haven Giants and the West Haven Diamonds through this special opportunity. We are offering the naming rights to the baseball’s scoreboard for a five year period. This is effectively 24/7 advertising throughout our community for a guaranteed 1,825 days in Touhy-Herbert Park. Sponsorship includes the purchase and installation of the sign with the sponsor’s desired business logo and name. For further information and rates, please contact LaShunda Gonzalez at (312) 738-2280 or lg@nearwestsidecdc.org
Sponsorship money will go towards the cost of uniforms, materials and transportation to keep these teams up and running.
