Sponsorship
PROGRAM
We Love Our Sponsors!!!
Sponsorships are a huge part of the operation of any non-profit organization, and Chandler National is no different. We rely on the generosity of local businesses and individuals to fund some of the programs we offer.
- Scholarships – Equipment
- Uniforms – Professional Umpires
- Special Events & Clinics – Coach Training & Player Safety
- Field Upgrades & Usage Fees – Insurance
- Special Projects
Sponsorships are a critical source of funding for CNLL, necessary for us to maintain the highest quality of programs.
My team cannot find a sponsor. Why are we required to self-sponsor?
As all teams benefit from the sponsorship funds in terms of their Little League baseball experience, we ask all teams to actively recruit a sponsor. The reality is that some teams do not, or cannot. Self-sponsoring allows these teams an option to participate in CNLL without having to find a sponsor.
Why so much fundraising? Why not just increase registration fees for all?
As stated above, CNLL is a community-based, 100% volunteer run non-profit organization. The sponsorship and other fundraising opportunities provide a way for the community to support the league and its mission. The league tries to partner with our sponsors to provide fun activities for teams, players, and their families, while also raising funds for the league. Simply raising registration fees would stifle the community-based nature of Little League, and may also prevent a young player from registering to play baseball.
Where does the money go?
Some of the fundraising dollars goes to offset the operating costs of the league, such as insurance, umpires, game light fees, field maintenance (chalk & equipment), baseball equipment (tees, catcher’s gear, baseballs, etc.) For example, each season, the league goes through about 2,580 baseballs. CNLL is also the only Little League to supply batting helmets to all of our Rookie and “A” division players. Many of our players are able to use this helmet throughout their Little League experience
- CNLL does not own the fields at Snedigar Sports Complex. It is owned by the City of Chandler. However, the league also works with the city and invests fundraising dollars for improvement projects to the baseball facilities at Snedigar. In recent years, the fundraising dollars have helped to:
- Install permanent shade structures adjacent to Fields 7, 8, 9, & 10 for improved fan comfort.
- Install foul poles and scoreboard aesthetics on Fields 7 & 8.
- Replace portable backstops used on Fields D, E, F, & G.
- The City of Chandler has also continued to invest in the baseball facilities at Snedigar. In recent years, they have helped to:
- Install the backstops and dugouts on Fields 9 & 10.
- Install the “bullpen” and batting cage between Fields 7 & 8.
- Re-sod the infields on Fields 7 & 8.
What is provided by the league for my registration fee?
The league provides each player with a jersey, cap, league patch, league pin, pictures, and a helmet (in some cases), plus all of the team equipment, fields, and umpires necessary to play baseball. It also organizes events such as the Opening Ceremony, Jamboree, Home Run Derby, and Postseason Tournaments. The league will also be providing practice jerseys for the spring season.
What other costs should parents expect during the season?
Parents should expect the following potential expenses, some of which are optional:
- Practice field and light fees.
- Pants, belts, and socks to complete the uniform. Teams can choose any coordinating color for these items.
- Individual player equipment, including a glove, bat, protective cup, sliding shorts, any practice clothing, and an equipment bag. Some older catchers may choose to purchase their own catcher’s gear.
- Pictures (if you select an upgrade package).
- Trophies / medals.
- Snacks.
- Team celebration.
- “Bling” for parents and families (optional).
