2010 TLL Sponsorship Program

Dear Friends of Tiverton Little League,

Tiverton Little League has launched another great year of Baseball and Softball for the youth of our community!  Tiverton Little League (TLL) is a non-profit organization with the mission of encouraging youth in developing the qualities of citizenship, discipline, teamwork and physical well-being.  By espousing the virtues of character, courage and loyalty, the Little League Baseball and Softball program is designed to develop superior citizens.

While TLL has very strong links to the community, the Tiverton public schools, and Recreation    department, we receive no public funding.  There are many expenses connected with running a Little League.  We pay for a portion of these expenses with registration fees.  However, our affordable registration fee of $60 - $80 per child does not fully cover each child, as our total expense per player is over $100.  Your sponsorship fills this gap, and allows the League to operate year after year.  We couldn’t do it without you!

TLL is proud of its history serving generations of Tiverton children for over a half-century, with 350-400 players from both Tiverton and Little Compton participating in our program each baseball season.  We are very proud of our League achievements and the hard work of our many volunteers, including team managers, coaches, and Board members. This past summer, 3  Championships were won by Tiverton teams, playing against teams from all over the region.

Continuing with TLL team sponsorship in 2010 is a terrific way to gain positive visibility for your business, while providing much-needed support for the youth of our community.  It is our goal to ensure that you, our sponsors, derive great value and pride from your association with TLL, as your financial support is critical to making the Little League experience possible for the children of our community.   In 2010…

  ....there will be approximately 400 boys and girls, ages 5 to 12 participating in TLL;

....while wearing the your business name on their jersey - each player, along with his/her parents, guardians, grandparents and friends will attend TLL games an average of two or three times per week from April through the end of June;

...your sponsorship donations are fully tax deductible.

TLL is making some very visible changes in the 2010 season to improve the overall Little League experience for our players and their families, including the addition of a Challenger Division which will provide the opportunity for the children in our community with mental and physical disabilities to play baseball at no cost.   Your sponsorship in 2010 will demonstrate to current and potential customers that your business has been an important part of these changes.

We are pleased to offer three types of sponsorship packages this year, at costs well below the average for leagues in our region.   In order to allow enough time for printing of uniforms with the your business name, the deadline for submitting sponsorship requests is March 15th, 2010.   To request a sponsorship form, or if you have any questions about the TLL Sponsorship Program, please feel free to contact me at LORIG1999@aol.com, or 401-624-3717.

On behalf of the players, parents and Board of Directors of Tiverton Little League, thank you for your support!
