Fundraising Banner for Team

bobcool

My son plays select baseball and every year we raise money to pay for tournaments, uniforms, etc. so the parents don't have to fund everything (which would be really expensive). This year they wanted a wide banner with a pic of the team. So one morning before practice I shot each player individually, cut each out in PS and created a banner, which we printed out 5 feet by 10 feet. It looks awesome, and was fun to do - we got 15 sponsors and raised over $2500!

Anyway, I wanted to share the banner and remind all you sports moms and dads that this is a great way to raise money for your kid's team.

It's a great looking banner, and a nice job on your part.

It's interesting to read, too. The animal portrayed in the
team logo seems like it escaped from Arkansas. Also
interesting is that there is a Chinese school in the Keller,
TX area. To this Southerner, the SEC logo on a Texas
banner creates a small laugh.

Are those numbers on the baseballs player numbers?

Thanks Tony! Yes, the numbers on the center logo are for each player. It's actually a photo of a pin created to trade with other players during the USSSA World Series in June. The mother of the player tossing up the baseball owns a Chinese/English language school and she donated to the banner. About half of the logos belong to parents' companies or employers (mostly small businesses). Others are companies the team does business with, like Lone Star Hitting Lab who gives private batting lessons, who has over half the team as customers.

I figured that. My two grandchildren have played - and are playing - Babe
Ruth league baseball when they're not playing in a Pop Warner football league.
I'm quite used to sponsors (and appreciate them) but got a kick out of reading
about yours.
