Dear Community Partner,

Mechanicsville Little League has been providing the boys and girls of our community with the opportunity to enjoy baseball and softball for over 50 years.  As a league, we take great pride in fostering an environment where our children can learn the values of teamwork, structure, the results of hard work, and facing the challenges of competition, all while developing a love of the game.  We also offer a Challenger division for special needs youth to give them the opportunity to play baseball, and attend the Jamboree held annually in May in Virginia Beach.  

Today, the league owns a 26 acre baseball/softball facility that includes 10 lighted fields, 4 batting cages, and a full service concession stand.  The expense of maintaining this facility falls squarely on the shoulders of the league, as we receive no financial support from Hanover County or other entities.  Player fees, donations, and concession stand proceeds are used to offset annual operating expenses, while money raised through corporate sponsorships is targeted for facility improvements needed to keep our facility as one of the best in the RVA area.

This year has been a year like no other, we had to postpone our traditional spring season and we played late summer and into the fall.  We’ve also shut down our bingo games since March when COVID struck.  With the current COVID numbers as well as the Governor’s COVID restrictions, we’re continuing to delay the restart of bingo being played at MLL.  This is certainly putting a strain on our finances and we’re looking to the Mechanicsville community to help us through this extremely difficult time.

As we look forward to a fun-filled 2021 season, we are counting on our local businesses to help make our season be one of our best yet.  This year we’re offering outfield and dugout banners, windscreens, team sponsorships (that serve as walking billboards on our players' shirts as they are out in the Mechanicsville community), Facebook recognition and more.  Please refer to the attached flyer for pricing for our advertising opportunities.  The success of this effort is imperative to the continued health and welfare of our programs.  

We are a 501c3 non profit organization of volunteers, and on behalf of our Board of Directors and players, we thank you for your time and consideration of this opportunity.  We hope to include your company with our family of community sponsors as we continue our proud tradition of Little League Baseball and Softball in Mechanicsville.

Thank you,

Chris Chappell
