COLDWATER REC SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITY



This year, the Recreation Department is running the program that for many years was Little League in our community.  We are very excited to have over 300 youth signed up and several tournaments scheduled for this year.  For sponsors, we are selling banners in the outfield and we are selling the naming rights to the fields.  This provides a sponsor with a lot of exposure since the banners will remain up from May-Sept and all the teams that play on the diamonds will see them as well.  Please see click here for more details and if you have any questions or would like to purchase one please email Julie Santure.
