1 For 50 years, Northern Lights Little League has delivered a fun, safe and competitive environment in which children aged 5-16 can play baseball and softball. Little League baseball provides unique opportunities for boys and girls to learn values such as sportsmanship and teamwork while simultaneously developing skills and passion for baseball and physical fitness. NLLL would not be what it is today, if not for the generosity and goodwill of local business owners and individuals like yourself. Thank you for your support past, present and future!!! The volunteers of NLLL are hard at work planning for the 2017 Little League season. In the coming season, we anticipate serving close to 500 ballplayers! Player and spectator safety is our highest priority; as such, maintaining aging facilities and replacing old, worn-out, or unsafe equipment is an ongoing commitment and requirement. While player registration fees cover much of NLLL s operating costs, we also rely on numerous volunteers and generous financial support of individuals and businesses to help keep baseball affordable for families in our community. These donations help cover field rental and maintenance costs, player equipment, uniforms, scholarships for players with a financial need, as well as periodic enhancements and upgrades to maintain safe playing venues for our players. We are asking for your financial support of NLLL for the 2017 season. Option 1: $300 (link on our website to your business; plaque for your business; 3 x5 all weather banner affixed to the outfield fence at our complex for the entire season) Option 2: $500 (same as Option 1 with a 5 x8 sized banner) Option 3: $3000 (Scoreboard plate that will be affixed to a scoreboard for a 5 year period; example is attached) Not only will you be helping the children of Thornton have a better experience, but your businesses banner or scoreboard plate will be seen by thousands of people who frequent our complex. NLLL is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in the state of Colorado and donations may be tax deductible as allowed by law. Thank you for your continued support of Northern Lights Little League!
