Little League sponsors
MTN. EMPIRE — Mountain Empire Little League (MELL) is a
non-profit Little League Baseball organization that provides
an exciting youth baseball experience for players 4 to 15
years of age. To continue to provide a fun and encouraging
environment for our youth, MELL requires a tremendous amount
of support from our local community.
MELL is seeking financial sponsors. There are various
Sponsor Plan Options to provide financial support, along
with the benefits that come with that support. Dedicated
community sponsors are vital to the success of the league by
generating the income needed to continue field improvements,
purchase uniforms/equipment, registration grants for
need-based families and educational training clinics.
The Spring 2009 season officially begins in February
and continues through June, with post-season tournaments
continuing through August.
