2023 Sponsorship Opportunities

Manawa Youth Sports Association is getting ready to kick off our Summer 2023 Tee-ball, Coach Pitch, Softball and Baseball Programs and are looking for support from our area businesses.

Last summer he had 165 children registered for the program, and we are hoping for the same or more this summer! It’s just fantastic to see so many youngsters enjoying baseball and softball as well as learning at a young age to participate in a team sport. We have many sponsorship opportunities available.

We have many field improvements and equipment needs that we are hoping to see to.  Three years ago we were able to purchase new helmets to ensure all met safety standards and were not out of date.  We also replaced catcher’s gear as we were able. This summer, our coaches have expressed the need for travel tees that allow them to collapse the tee and take it along to away games and practices, as well as pop up nets to give developing players the opportunity to take as many swings as needed. We’d like to provide at least 2 per team. Our 10U boys baseball is in need of new catchers gear this year, also. Another coach is interested in swing trainers, which is fantastic! We would also like to purchase a new drag for our field atop the hill by MES  Your donation will help us to accomplish these goals and ensure a solid future for our program!

We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and are happy to provide you with a receipt for your sponsorship or donation to our program.

Please contact us via email at MYSAManawa@gmail.com or call our MYSA Secretary, Corinne Zielke, at 920.407.0193 if you are interested in sponsoring the Manawa Youth Sports Association this summer. We will be printing our banners at the end of April and hope to hear from you before then!

Registration closes March 31st, but the sooner you can register, the better, for planning purposes. Questions? Email us at mysamanawa@gmail.com.
