Set Up Guide

Baseball Field Banner Sponsorship Program

Program Overview: Baseball fields are community gathering places where kids learn teamwork, families spend weekends, and fans come together to cheer on local teams. But maintaining fields and funding programs takes more than registration fees. A Baseball Field Banner Sponsorship Program gives your city, parks department, or school a straightforward way to raise money while offering businesses and families prominent recognition. Sponsors purchase banner space along outfield fences or dugouts, generating recurring revenue that directly supports field maintenance, equipment, and program costs.
