Would you like to sponsor us?
The Essex Base Ball Organization is a non-profit “vintage” baseball group that plays baseball as it was played in the 19th century throughout the east coast. We are based out of Massachusetts and have three teams in our organization The Essex Base Ball Club, Lynn Live Oaks, and Boston Beaneaters. One of our goals is to teach the history of baseball through games and demonstrations. In addition to playing a full schedule of games every summer, we run youth clinics in which we teach children the evolution of the game through hands on activities. We also give lectures on baseball history at historical societies, libraries, and other civic organizations.
I am writing in the hopes that you would be interested in becoming a sponsor for a trip we are planning in 2009 to Ireland. We hope to spread the history of America’s game to the people and children of Ireland. Many of the players who played in the 19th century came from Irish heritage so we feel that this would be the perfect opportunity to celebrate baseball history. Baseball is developing in Ireland and we hope to bring some of the history to them so that they can understand where the game came from.
We have three different sponsorship opportunities for businesses:
Gold $500- A gold member sponsor will be listed on the Essex Base Ball Club’s web site along with the Vintage Base Ball in Ireland web site. The gold member sponsor will also be printed on all handouts, posters, and signs for the 2009 season.
Silver $200- A silver member sponsor will be listed on the Essex Base Ball Club’s web site along with the Vintage Base Ball in Ireland web site.
Bronze $100- A bronze member sponsor will be listed on the Essex Base Ball Club’s web site.
