Our Swing-A-Thon Fundraiser is under way and we have already raised over $1,100 in the first few hours!! Please be on the look out for an email message from 99 Pledges (support@99pledges.com) which has the link to your individual webpage for your player. If you didn't get a message or can't find it, please let us know.
It's simple, your players individual page has links on the bottom right you can use to share with friends and families and post to your social media sites. Our goal is to have every player help us raise $100 each and we already have two players that have surpassed $150 - WOW!
There will be individual prizes for the top overall earners, the top earner in each division, and the team that raises the most money in each division. If that wasn't enough, there will also be numerous other ways to win during the Swing-A-Thon day on the field.
Our goal is to raise $30,000 for the league to match the $30,000 in business donations we have received this year. What better way to celebrate our 60th Anniversary! If you want to see how we are doing overall please visit our main webpage at https://99pledges.com/fund/Naamans60/. At the bottom of the page you can also see who is in the lead both individually and by team for each division.
Thank you for your efforts and contributions and let's hit it out of the park!

Dear Naamans Family,
As you know as part of our 60th Anniversary we have a goal to raise $60,000 this year so we can continue to make key capital improvements throughout the complex. We have achieved the first half of this goal through business donations and now we need your help to raise the other half.
To achieve this goal, we are excited to announce our 1st Annual Naamans Little League Swing-A-Thon. The Swing-A-Thon will be a centerpiece of our 60th Anniversary Celebration on Sunday, April 30th and is a fun and competitive fundraiser where each Rookie, Single A, Double A, Triple A, and Majors division player will have 10 swings. Pledges can be made in the form of a flat donation or on a per hit basis.
Through parents, family, and friends we are asking each player to help us by raising at least $60. If we can achieve that commitment across our League, we will meet our goal and hopefully even more! This will significantly help us continue to make improvements around our complex and set the foundation for the next 60 years.
To streamline our fundraiser and keep it simple, we are going online. You will now be able to reach out to friends and family by email, Facebook, and Twitter, instead of going door-to-door, tracking commitments, and handling checks. However, cash and checks will gladly be accepted.
In the coming days, you will receive an email with a link to your player's pledge page. You do not need to login or change anything. Simply make a flat donation or a pledge per hit for whatever you can, and share your player's link with friends and family.
If you do not receive the email for whatever reason, simply search and find your player's online pledge page here: https://99pledges.com/fund/naamans60
Again, the continued growth and success of our league is dependent upon you! The funds raised through this event will directly impact our ability to fund capital projects and continue to provide a high level player experience.
We truly appreciate your support as we look forward to what the future holds for Naamans Little League!
