Making Little League Baseball accessible to all children in Monkton
Three years ago, a caring group of parent volunteers recut the Monkton Little League diamond to official dimensions and gave it new life. Our work is not quite done as we need to put the finishing touches on the field, upgrade our aging equipment, and strive to make Little League financially accessible to every child in our Town. Aside from sponsorship money helping us reach our goal, we hope to begin an annual tradition that will put a positive charge into the community. Please note that 10% of net proceeds will go to Mount Abe Little League (MALL). Players from other towns may participate, and will be eligible for the participation gifts.
Entry Prize - Yeti Rambler
Participants who raise $50 will receive a black 18 oz Yeti Rambler with some yummy Vermont Smoke and Cure's beef sticks inside! Read on to learn how you can earn a poster, autographed baseballs, and raffle tickets for amazing prizes!
Woody Jackson - America's Pastime Poster
For years Woody Jackson (Ben and Jerry's famous cow artist) has been supporting the youth of Addison county with his creative talents and generosity. We are extremely grateful to have the opportunity to offer a poster of Woody Jackson's, "America's Pastime". Participants who raise $100 or more will receive their Yeti Cooler and a Woody Jackson poster. If you want a poster for yourself, please sponsor Woody Jackson (he won't be competing) for $50 or more.
