2012 Sponsors Needed



Although we charge registration fees for our programs, Holden Baseball heavily depends on community support to defray our operating expenses and allow us to make capital improvements on our facilities.  Sponsors may choose to sponsor one of our 50+ teams and have their company name appear on the hats or shirts of their sponsored team or have a 4'x8' sign bearing their company name and logo on the outfield fence at Swenson Memorial Field (home of Holden Baseball) for the entire 2012 season.
